I own that book and it is indeed informative!!! He really touches on the main points and puts it all in terms most people can understand! I HIGHLY reccommend it!!!Read Scott Hahn’s book THE LAMB’S SUPPER. It is, indeed, a ‘revelation’.
Scott Hahn is a brilliant man who has studied Revelation in great depth so that book should give you a pretty balanced understanding. Man! If only I could Study under him!!! WOW!!
You did not waste your time. Anyone searching for truth will not waste their time. It is important however to understand the true Catholic Church’s teachings especially on specific subjects as you have spent a lot of time as an acting Catholic. You do not need to leave, but please be open to what we have to say and we will be open to you. This does not mean we have to agree though. And no one here I think will claim themselves as a genius. I just joined this thread and so have not read the rest of the posts yet, but this is what I’ve gathered so far…
I said nothing of the sort. I was just trying to make you feel more welcome and not so defensive. But I see my efforts have been for nothing. So never mind. I’ll leave this thread.
THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE TO FALLOW THE RULE IN Re.22/18
BUT THE FUTURE REPEATS THE PAST and History is Prophecy.
Yes, the Seven Thunders, the mystery of the Messiah’s Kingdom reveiled. Jesus told them the mystery of what the Kingdom of the Messiah would really be like:
Historically, the early church fathers agree with you. These verses refer to the Jewish leadership and the Roman Authority. They see the fulfillment of these verses, surrounding the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D.

Concerning a future fulfillment, I won’t hazard a guess.

Do you think Jews, in their current state of rejecting Jesus, are ever going to blast Muslims off the Temple Mount one of these days so they can rebuild their Temple?Christ, the white horse rider, executes his judgement on the Temple and Jerusalem. The seals are opened in the same order Jesus warned His disciples about the fall of the Temple.
Luke 21: 5-11 While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, he said, “All that you see here–the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.
Historically, the angel announces the famine upon Jerusalem, so the oil and wine is used very sparingly. This vision takes place from the heavenly perspective. (Rev 6:6)
The second vision shows the same event from the perspective of earth. The merchants weep and mourn over Jerusalems destruction because it was a key trading center. (Rev 18:13)
