"For the time is at hand" is the same language that John the Baptist used to anounce the soon coming of Christ. |
For the time is at hand for what? All things to be fulfilled in the next 50 years or so?

Rev 1:7
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
KJV
In verse seven John says that those that pierced him would see him when he come in what he saw to bring judgement.
|
Could this not be referring to the Jews as a nation? Can anyone identify historically when every eye really did see him and when all those that crucified him saw him and all kindreds of the earth wailed becaue of him? when did that happen historically and what are the historical accounts?

Revelation 11
11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
KJV
The temple was evidently still standing when John seen his Revelation.
|
Because he was told in a prophetic vision to measure the temple? Was he measuring the actual temple, walking around or was he having a vision?

Rev 17:10
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
KJV
Five kings had already fallen when John received his Revelation. One was on the throne, and there was one more to come and he would be only a short time.
Yes, I natually would assume the time was short.
|
it says he would CONTINUE for a short time, meaning his reign was short...that does not mean in just a few years from John seeing this vision this king would arise
