When will the prophecy in Revelation come to pass?

[martyychang]

Revelation foretells the happy-ever-after ending humans can expect. But when will the prophecy come to pass? Is God simply waiting for a time? Or are there other factors we should consider?

[MattPMc]

It’s my understanding that John was speaking about his time specifically, and not some far flung date.

Though, I have a problem with prophecy in general as people will often manipulate them to their own perceived advantage. Take the ones who continuously push Nostradamus - they just make it up.

Could this word mean this event? Was he secretly trying to tell us about 9/11?

No. He wasn’t. If you stretch reason and just make wild claims... Still, no.

I think the larger problem of waiting for the fulfillment of such prophecy can become an obsession and distraction from the message of the one known as Jesus.
