    The great tribulation of Matt 24 -- is the dark ages.

    There is no "great tribulation" phrase in Revelation but we do have the 1260 years of dark ages persecution of the saints mentioned in Rev 11,12,13 -- so it is not as if God did not notice that 1260 year period of suffering for the saints.

    And certainly the 2nd coming has not happened.

    And of course the Rev 13 and 14 event of the mark of the beast is still future, so also the Rev 16 7 last plagues and Rev 20 lake of fire, millennium etc.

    But just because some things are future does not mean all things are.

    In Rev 12 we have the birth of Christ - and then his being taken to heaven followed by 1260 years of dark ages persecution for the saints.

    in Christ,

    Bob

    Thanks. And of course I agree that Satan is going to have his way in setting up the mark of the beast and issuing the death decree against anyone who challenges him. And he is most certainly going to work through the popular pulpit and the popular civil authority in the future - just as he did in Rev 12 for the 1260 years of dark ages.

    But each of us as individuals can embrace truth today (in the green tree) so that we need not be duped into following his program in the dry.

    in Christ,

    Bob

    is that "truth" what Ellen White taught, was "revealed" to her?

    Is it your claim that Ellen White wrote Rev 12, 13 and 14 now?

    Has it gone that far??

    Where do you come up with this material??

    I gave you obvious points from those three chapters in Revelation - are you claiming that only Ellen White could see them????

    The great tribulation yet to come, as NOTHING from Chapter 4 to the end of the book has actual happened yet!

    In Rev 12 - Christ is born and is then taken to heaven - after which the Christian church is persecuted during the dark ages for 1260 years.

    And yet for "Some" -- all this "has not happened yet". Which is the problem of simply quoting yourself as your source for doctrine.

    in Christ,

    Bob
