Revelation 1-3

[wolfpurplemoon]

I already think the author of Revelation must have been taking something, not only do voices speak to him, but he saw a fiery eyed, white haired man (Jesus?) amongst seven golden lamp-stands, carrying seven stars in his hand and a sword in his mouth.

The seven lamp-stands represent seven churches that Jesus has some specific instructions and pronouncements for, these are to mostly warn them about various satanic forces that are surrounding them.

Jesus also promises to return 'soon'. All I can be certain of is that starting Revelation means my time reading the bible ends soon!

Just wondering here...

It's possible that if we're thinking Jesus's (God's) time frame here soon to him could be a much longer time to us. (This has been mentioned before)

Also, it does say (later in revelations i think?) that God is patient and waits for as many people as possible to come to him before Jesus comes back.

Modern day man has only lived a short period of time (5700 years) compared to God's creation, aka the universe, which is approximately estimated to be 13.5 billion to 15 billion years old.

I'm sure this isn't new information to you though...
