There are some who believe that the events described in the Revelation already happened in the First Century AD.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

There are some who believe that the events described in the Revelation already happened in the First Century AD. That would actually be impossible for a few reasons. One of which is that we are told that the whole world watches these events unfold. This wouldn't be possible until the arrival of technology and the news media

CH 17
the Woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus - Israelite nation
Mother of harlots, and abominations - the Israelite nation was called just that in the Prophets...
the woman sits on 7 heads and 7 mountains - Roman empire
7 kings - 5 fallen - 1 is - and 1 is yet to come Revelation written in the late 60's
5 dead Caesars - Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius 1 is - Nero ruled from 54-58 - (you can skip Galba, Otto & Vitellius, they each ruled for less than a year and never ruled the Empire) then Vespasian#7 and Titus#8 who finished up the destruction of Jerusalem
Rev 17:8 ...when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. the Beast - Rome ruled by Caesars.... 'was' started with Julius, 'was not' when they killed him,. and 'yet is' with the reign of Augustus and continued through the prophecy of Revelation...............
Rev 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Titus was a son of Vespasian..... the 8th is of the seven!
Rev 17:18 the woman is 'the great city' Chapter 11 - the great city wherein our LORD was crucified

He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God.[/b] — 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4
A computer or a system can't sit in the temple or declare itself to be God. It's a man. It's deflave.

As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. — 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4
A computer or a system can't sit in the temple or declare itself to be God. It's a man. RC, this is a great passage for a couple of reasons. The church was , apparently, upset that they may have missed the coming, citing they may have heard about it, or GOTTEN A LETTER!?!?!?!? What was their understanding of the NATURE of the 'coming'??? You could be alive on earth afterword!?!? The other 'he takes his seat in the temple of GOD' the 'man of lawlessness'. True a computer cannot do it, and neither can a LAWLESS man TODAY!!! Today the Temple of GOD on earth is a spiritual place, it is the church......... When Paul wrote to the Thessalonians there was a 'Temple of GOD' that a man could walk into and sit down, it was the Temple in Jerusalem. One of the Caesars DID have his 'likeness' hung in the temple, which caused a great revolt among the Jews, and the Caesars were thought of, viewed as and worshipped by Romans as diety...........

One of which is that we are told that the whole world watches these events unfold. This wouldn't be possible until the arrival of technology and the news media Two thousand years ago the world was ruled by Rome. From Spain to Syria and from Africa to England, one of every four people on earth lived and died under Roman rule.

That is true, additionally the nation of Israel was referred to in the OT as heaven and earth, and 'the world'............ If Revelation is all about the destruction and the end of Jerusalem and the Israelite nation, then 'the world' certainly would have seen it................

There's a difference between the "Mark of the beast" and the antichrist. I watched this https://youtu.be/lvTL_lnN5-QA few days ago on this very subject. Rob Skiba is interesting to listen to as well.

There are some who believe that the events described in the Revelation already happened in the First Century AD. Yea, and there are some who believe GOD is dead. So, are we in Heaven, Hell or the millenial dungeron.

Rong, according to the Bible. Do Methodists believe in the Bible?

It’s a beast, disguised as a man..... Truth. But tbere are two beasts. One, a political leader and the other a religious leader.

I think it's a man. Isn't that what Revelation says? Well, there is that.

.......If you are referring to the anti-Christ, then yes it will be a man who will come out from one of the ten nations in Europe which at that time will share one currency.

Not a man. Serious implications that it's the catholic church. It is a man. The religious beast is probably the poop. Revelations 13:18, “This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.” This number actually indicates a name. The number "666" is the numerical value of the name of the coming Antichrist. Ha, you just got me thinking. One of the beasts arises from the sea. Humm. The holey see?
