My apologies, it was late and I knew my response would be lacking.
But
Yeah, like I said: those things did happen. And honestly, they happened in ways so exact it’s almost eerie.
When Jesus said, “this generation won’t pass away until all these things take place”, He was talking about the fall of Jerusalem, and it happened 40 years later, just like He said.
The Romans completely destroyed the Temple in AD 70. There were signs in the sky, wars, false messiahs, mass persecution, believers fleeing to the mountains just like He warned in Luke 21. That generation literally saw it all.
Josephus (a Jewish historian who wasn’t even Christian) recorded events that sound exactly like Revelation imagery…like famine so bad mothers ate their own babies or Roman soldiers surrounding the city like vultures.
And Revelationa was written to 7 real churches under the Roman rule. Nero fits the “666” beast code exactly. The imperial cult forced people to worship Caesar or be banned from markets just like the mark of the beast. They had to burn incense to the emperor and get a certificate to buy or sell. It’s all documented history. Even the image of the beast was real: Domitian set up statues in temples and some say they used ventriloquism to make them “speak.”
That’s the first layer and it already hit perfectly.
Now the second layer is the typology part. The Bible uses patterns: Babylon wasn’t just a city, it’s a spirit. The Beast system didn’t die with Rome it grew throughout the years. So what they lived through was a preview of what’s coming worldwide: another false peace, another persecution, another final judgment. That’s what makes the prophecies so deep. They exist for past, present and future until the final ultimate return of Christ.
Little know example - Isaac carried his own wood up Mt Mariah to be sacrificed for sins because there was no lamb, but spared. Centuries later Jesus carried his wood (cross) in same Mt to be the sacrificial Lamb FOR our sin.
Passover (blood over door, angel of death over the evil) is a typology for now times+end times (blood of Christ, eternal death of all, at midnight) - get it?
So nah, the prophecies didn’t fail. They were super accurate. Most people just read them like modern fortune-telling, not texts written real people and future generations at the same time.
you let me know
