[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 6068512, member: 65823"] I think it does. Like the first century Jews, they were looking for a Messiah to restore physical Israel to it's glory as a kingdom. Jesus came to establish(and did) a spiritual kingdom(the church). Those who hold the pre view, are looking for a physical kingdom. The premillennial view begins that Jesus was killed before he could accomplish his mission. Uh..no. Also, if one's view of Revelation could not be understood by the 7 churches in the first century, I contend that view has to be wrong. Fighter jets, Russia(or whatever the latest country is on the front burner), the latest bad guy, would mean nothing to them. Will soon come to pass is all through the book. The greatest world kingdom(Rome) took on the greatest spiritual kingdom(the church). The letter is one of encouragement. No matter how bad it gets(they were killing Christians) stay faithful. Do not bow to Caesar worship. The church is the eternal kingdom. Rome will fall(and has). [/QUOTE]
