I see. So you offer your little weak opinion here rather than address the topic? Like I would care what you think when the bible is clear?

You tire me with your ignorance of both science and God's word.
You have shown us nothing that remotely connects your ideas to either God's word or to legitimate science.
You are free to hold your view, but please don't push it on the rest of us who see your theory as hocum. -
The truth of the matter is that you have neither a bible case nor any fact or evidence or science that you have posted. -

Then I suggest pages 185-195 in the link to William Hendriksen's commentary that I posted above if you want to read a big strong explanation. -

In Page 186, ". . . Thus, Satan remains ‘locked up’ for a thousand years. After that he must be loosed for a short time.
What is the meaning of this symbol?
1 In order to arrive at
the real meaning of the binding and hurling into the abyss’ of
Satan we must first ask the question, just what meaning or
value did this passage have for the persecuted Christians of John’s day? . . ."
Symbolism. Stop.
You list each symbol.
What each symbol means.
Where from Scripture it's meaning is found.
Make it simple. -

And there is what is explicitly explained,
Revelation 1:20, ,". . . The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. . . ." -

Where have I ever said that God did not create all things? Of course God created all things. The laws of nature, which God established, are only suspended by God himself.
I said that the Bible is not written to be a Science book. It is not meant to be read as a science book. It is meant to be read as a Revelation of Yahweh to mankind.
*Genesis 11:1-9,16-19*
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
When Eber had lived 34 years, he fathered Peleg. And Eber lived after he fathered Peleg 430 years and had other sons and daughters. When Peleg had lived 30 years, he fathered Reu. And Peleg lived after he fathered Reu 209 years and had other sons and daughters.

Like in John 12:32-33, ". . . And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die. . . ."
Now Revelation revealed two things, Revelation 1:19, ". . . the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; . . ."
Shorty in verse 1 meaning suddenly. -
I like William Hendriksen's commentary because it makes the most sense based on taking the Bible as a whole, and not taking symbolic verses here and there in Revelation and then interpreting everything else in the Bible based on symbolic verses in an apocalyptic book at the end of the Bible, especially since the bottom line is that NONE of us have seen the end of the world and I am quite certain that NONE of us know exactly how it will all take place. -
How has this thread morphed into "How do we interpret Revelation?" Can that topic move elsewhere?
