The entire book of revelations has already happened. It foretold the fall of the Roman Empire or the end of the world for the world reigning power. The shows over. Move along.

If we are truly in the last days.. so what? it's best not to know about it.
Revelation says it will be too late to convert.. so why spread the word?
Peace.
Many things are foretold in Revelations that were not possible then, and maybe not even now. A mark required on your hand or forehead to purchase goods (ie no physical money)? The Two Witnesses lying dead publicly for 3 1/2 days then rising again? The entire Earth witnessing Jesus return to the Mount of Olives (television, Internet)? Peace in the Middle East? The original Temple being rebuilt with the Ark of the Covenant in it? These are just a few of many.

Virgo means "virgin" in Latin, the virgin who gave birth to a son is Mary. The dragon represents Rome, which has 7 hills (heads) and at the time of Revelation being written, they were on their 10th emperor (crowns).
I believe Revelation happened 2,000 years ago when Jesus was here. Rome (the dragon) devoured the son (Jesus) of the virgin (Mary) then turned him into the beast who "rules all nations with an iron scepter" (the church).
The war that broke out was between Rome and the Christians, where Rome persecuted the Christians and killed most of them only to change Jesus' message afterwards.
I think Revelation was a recounting of events, not a foretelling by John.
That's asinine. Many things are foretold in Revelations that were not possible then, and maybe not even now. A mark required on your hand or forehead to purchase goods (ie no physical money)?
