"Christianity did not come from judaism: rather, judaism is a perversion of Christianity."

- St. Ignatius of Antioch; martyred, Rome, 108 AD; torn to pieces by lions

Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomor´rah and the neighbor cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it. (Jeremiah 49:17 - 18)

There shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it. (Obadiah 1:18)

I, John, who also am your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 1:9)

Fellow-partner in the what??

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
(1 Peter 1:13)

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John. (Revelation 1:1)

So, who was Jesus speaking to when he said these things?

It can take a while to undo a lifetime of programming and indoctrination, so if I seem repetitive at times, it's because sometimes people need to hear the truth more than once before it really sticks.

"Ask and it will be given.
Seek and you will find."

I'm still new to this platform. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for subscribing.

God bless.

"And great hail (as of a talent weight) doth come down out of the heaven upon men, and men did speak evil of God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great." Revelation 16:21

During the siege of Jerusalem, Titus’ army hurled giant stones at the city walls hoping to breach the city’s defenses.

Regarding this plague of hail, Josephus writes:

"Now, the stones that were cast were of the weight of a talent, and were carried two furlongs and farther. The blow they gave was no way to be sustained, not only by those that stood first in the way, but by those that were beyond them for a great space. As for the jews, they at first watched the coming of the stone, for it was a white color."

- Josephus, Wars, 5.6.3

John Gwynn on the Syrian Version of the Apocalypse (Philoxenian version)

"I have endeavoured to lead to the conclusion that this Apocalypse is a portion of the original "Philoxenian" New Testament, as translated A.D. 508, for Philoxenus of Mabug, by Polycarpus "the Chorepiscopus." I have endeavoured to show, farther, that the other version of the Apocalypse, first printed by De Dieu in 1627, is a revision of this, and belongs probably to the Syriac New Testament of Thomas of Harkel, of A.D. 616."

"I would remark, in passing, that the number 666 (Rev. xiiu 18) is represented by Irenaeus (Proleg. v. 30, 1), on the authority of St. John himself, to have been the name Lateinos (meaning the sixth Roman Emperor, Nero, who was born in Latium), not Laetinos, as B. H. C. found it." (T.J. Buckton)

“And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and the sun became as black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. And the stars from heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig-tree casteth its green figs when it is shaken by the wind.” [Apocalypse 6:12-13] // "There are not wanting those who apply this passage to the siege and destruction of Jerusalem by Titus.” - Andreas of Cappadocia Caesarea, 450 AD

"Evil omens occurred. A comet was seen, and the moon, contrary to precedent, appeared to suffer two eclipses, being obscured on the fourth and on the seventh day. Also people saw two suns at once, one in the west weak and pale, and one in the east brilliant and powerful." - Cassius Dio, Roman History, 65.8
