I am not sure that a vast majority of Christians believes that the prophecies of Rev. were fulfilled in 70 AD. I would need to see some polling data.


92 percent of Christians that believe in the Kirk Cameron Left Behind BS live in the American South. Its primarily Southern Baptists and Charismatics. outside the United States, you'll find lifelong Christians that have never heard the term "rapture."

Presbyterians, Methodists, Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, and a host of others fall into the post-mil/a-mil camps.

The pre-mil camp is more exciting, gets movies made and gets people talking. Its a load of crap, too.

Everyone is entitled to their own belief. I believe that the church (believers) are not appointed to God's wrath.

There will definitely be an end to all life on Earth when life is no longer sustainable in any form due to the Sun running out of fuel and expanding. Our planet and everything on or in it will no longer exist. All of Bama's NC trophies will be co-mingled with the resulting cosmic dust. Having said that, Revelations and all of the religious horse shite about the end of the world is garbage.

The vast majority of Christians believe that the Book of Revelation was fulfilled with the Siege of Jerusalem in AD 70.

The vast majority of Christians don't know what they believe about end times. Preterism has been around for a long time but I would say more Christians that worry about eschatology assume that the Tribulation will precede a second coming; pre, mid, post trib with the rapture of the Church being the main debate.
Now you might be talking about Catholics but they don't think; they are told what to believe.

I agree. Bitcoin is the mark of the Beast. Furthermore, ultimately every single human being will conduct their business (buying groceries, doctor visits, etc) using a chip inserted under the skin of the hand. All the persons medical history, their bank balances (or lack thereof) everything will be programmed into that chip. You will NOT be able to conduct business without it.


can't fricking wait.

Did you know that nobody knows who invented bitcoin? The creator just released it to the public and vanished.

I'll believe that as soon as you remove psalm 20 from directly above your pornstar pic.

You might as well be an instagram model with that hypocrisy.

You know revelations was written hundreds off years after Christ and likely added to scare up conversions.

Just like Genesis was added last to the old Testament.
You skip those two books and the bible is much better.

If one reads the book of Revelation and the passages dealing with accepting the Mark of the Beast, its not referred to as something that's done in a deceitful fashion. In fact, there is a willingness of those taking the Mark to not only accept it purposely, but to also want to worship the Beast.

I read that bitcoins are about to replace all known forms of payment, including standard coins, currency, credit and debit cards.

How do the two Alabama Senate candidates differ on their bitcoin stances?

That's one of the more odd conspiracy theories I've heard about.

BTW, the article you linked argues that BTC is *not* the Mark of the Beast.

Revelation was written by John in approximately 95 AD

I don't believe any of that stuff, but if there was a MOTB, it would be Apple. I mean, their logo is a bitten apple a la Adam and Eve. People will likely have a phone implant available in the future almost certainly.

Not THE john and it wasn't officially added to the bible until the Council of Rome in the middle of the 4th century.

By then who wrote it was in doubt. Many didn't see it as canonical. Many believed it carried allusions to Nero , yes it was written during the time of Domitian but, it wasn't part of Scripture until much later.
It's just in the TLDR days, easier to put it as I did.

It was written by John around 95. Doesn't matter when it was canonized. Some religions didn't canonize until much later that you describe. Let me ask you this: did the seven churches mention in the Revelation exist into the 4th century?

There is quite literally zero biblical support for the “Rapture”. And the tribulation in Revelation has already happened.

Amillenialism
