You:
> I just made a discover about the date the Book of
Revelation:

Me:
I have heard this stuff about the book of Revelation being
about the 
destruction of the Temple by the Romans before and I have
only one question.  Where is history is it recorded that
oh, lets start with this one, 200,000,000 men marched
across the Euphratise (sp?) river, where is it recorded
that ALL of the grass died, where is it recorded that 1/4
of the WORLD population died and then at another time 1/3
died, both in single catastrophies?  Where is the
historical record of an earthquake thats effects are felt
world wide?  When did the sea ever turn to "blood"?  If the
Romans had not stopped from their attack on Jerusalem would
ALL life on the planet have perished? OK it is several
questions.  John is not refering to anything that had
happened in his time.

Also consider that Jesus said that this would be a time of
trouble for the Jews of which there would be nothing like
it before or after it.  The Jews did some very nasty things
as a result of being besieged by the Romans but as I have
already stated to Rev. Blume. once you have been so
persecuted, the ONLY way for a persecutiion to be WORSE is
in the number of people who suffer.
In this respect the inquisition was worse than the fall of
the Temple and the Holocaust was worse than both of these.

I have said before friends and I say again, your prayers
have not been in vain!  Be SURE to thank the God of OUR
salvation on my behalf and I will thank Him on yours dear,
dear friends!  We have much work to do.

PS.  For those who were waiting to see how I react when I
have been wrong and confronted with it, it seems you MAY
get your wish.  I haven't done all the research yet but it
SEEMS to me so far at least that I have made a mistake in
my posts on marriage.  More on this later!
