It was a heavily symbolic write up of what was to come of the reign of Nero.
@fleebleneeble@reddthat.com how is Nero relevant now ???
He isn't. That's the point. Revelations isn't about us.
Yeah cause the bible mentions the US all the time.
@snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world how does the Bible mention the US ??๐ค๐ค๐ค
They're being sarcastic, you peanut
Now I see....... The Bible mentions Israel, and the USA is Israel in effect..........
@snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world
Revelations, if taken for what they're said to be, a revelation of the last days, have a few items that are worth mentioning relevant to current events. -There will be a mark on people's hands or foreheads, without which one can't buy food. -A swarm like locusts will rise up and destroy stuff. -All nations will declare war on Israel.
That's just a few excerpts from memory, that could very easily be understood to fit with modern context. Aside from Israel no countries are mentioned by name iirc. Note that Israel did not exist at the time it was written, it was the Roman province Judea.
@Bigfishbest@lemmy.world could it refer to the vaccine ๐ marks ??
Anti-vaxxers are fucking idiots and the world is a better place without them.
@FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com why grow jealous of idiots ?????
@Bigfishbest@lemmy.world
Why would I be jealous of antivaxxers?
I just hope that their selfish stupidity doesn't hurt others
Each antivaxxer who dies from a preventable disease makes the world a slightly better place
@FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com the body doesn't need any vaccine. It's naturally resilient enough to any kind of disease. I never visit doctors nor take any medicine, and l never fall ill fyi. You may have some agenda against antivaxxers, but I don't allow any unnatural object inside my body. I just ensure that my hormones are humming in harmony, that's it.
@Bigfishbest@lemmy.world
You're a fucking idiot
Don't breed
@FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com thank God...... Not programmed at least.........
@Bigfishbest@lemmy.world
God doesn't exist and it seems pretty apparent that you're mentally ill
Anyway, I'm blocking you
I sincerely hope that you don't reproduce. There are enough fuckwits in the world
It's religion, it can mean whatever you want it to mean.
More likely a datachip with your credit card and ID on it...
