everything revelation has predicted is happening
RIGHT NOW under your very nose ...

when John was told that these events where about the
end times, the end times did not happen when the
romas empire fell ...


Both Christians and Jews were being persecuted under Roman rule until the third century when Constantine made Christianity the official state religion. John was writing about those times and many bible scholars agree with this point of view.

But let's be realistic. John must have consumed some ergot infested bread while in captivity.

I still don't understand why this last book of the New Testament doesn't talk about Jesus or his teachings. The people who formed the 66-book cannon must have been on drugs too. (unless they were just looking to trump weird things that appear at the end of the old testament in Malachi; talk about a literary mirror...)
