I understand exactly what the Word says. When the 7th angel begins to sound the mystery of God should be finished.

Revelation 10
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

When the 7th angel sounds, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord. That mean Armageddon is over and Christ has returned and set up His kingdom.

Revelation 11
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

WRATH IS OVER.


This is not correct and not even close. Not sure where you came up with this but it does not agree with scripture.



All this is incorrect.

I have no idea how you would conclude this. The wrath of God lasts one year. That includes both the trumpets and vials which happen in the same timeframe.

One year means 360 days of wrath, which puts a lot of that 42 months in the seals.


I am changing nothing around. Revelation from Chapter 4 thru Chapter 11 reads straight thru (except for the sealing of the 144,000 in Chapter 7 which occurs earlier in the seals, which we can prove). Wrath is over and done in Chapter 11. Armageddon has happened and Jesus has set up His kingdom on earth.

Then we are back in the seals in Chapter 13. We see the 144,000 harvested from the earth as 1st fruits. We see the great tribulation (5th seal) Then we see the coming of Jesus for the harvest (6th seal). Then we get another view of the wrath of God in the vials. We see Armageddon and Jesus returns. So Revelation 13 thru Revelation 16 give you more information about the seals and Gods wrath that we see in Revelation 6 thru 11.

Nothing is being rearranged. We need to UNDERSTAND what is written.

Again. The wrath of God is one year. Most of those 42 months occur before the 6th seal. AND THE 6TH SEAL IS NOT THE 7TH TRUMPET LIKE SOME THINK. Jesu comes at the 6th seal for the second harvest. The tribulation is over and wrath begins.
Notice it says should be finished. It does not definitely finished.

There is no verse in Scripture stating 360 days of wrath, and you say I am wrong when I point out Scripture that states 42 months.

The 42 months starts after the 7th Trumpet has started. How can time run backwards and place the 42 months into a time prior to the first 6 Trumpets?

You are rearranging the order John gives and putting the 7th Trumpet as sounding during the Seals, when the angels don't even have the Trumpets in their possession until at least a half an hour after the 7th Seal is opened.

You keep saying the Trumpets are in the Seals, but they are not. They happen after the Seals. The events are not Russian dolls stacked inside each other.

The 7 Seals bind the Lamb's book of life shut. They have been in place since the foundation of the world. They have not been opened until the time of the Day of the Lord.

They are opened so names can be removed from the Lamb's book of life. No one can even receive the mark until the Lamb's book of life is unsealed, so they can be removed from the Lamb's book of life, when they receive the mark.

Revelation 13 cannot happen until the Seals are opened. They do not receive the mark until after the 7th Trumpet starts sounding.

There are 13 events between the 7th Seal and the 7th Trumpet. 4 normal Trumpets, 2 Trumpets with 2 woes attached. Then 7 Thunders. All this happens before the 7th Trumpet can even sound.

And then the 7th Trumpet is interrupted if Satan is given 42 months.

All mentions of the Day of the Lord are talking about 1,000 year time periods. That was Peter's point.
NO that wasn't Peters point! Peter was talking about the patience of God to bring sinners to salvation. that is the context of his 1,000 remark.

Do you have scripture to prove this or is it just a guess?

ok.

The trumpets are the events that happen when the 7th seal is opened.


Scriptural support?


No. The last seal event is when the 7th seal is opened the trumpets are given to the angels after a short silence.
"And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;"

That is the basis for calling it the Lamb's book of life.

The scroll is not the Lambs book of Life! Teh Lambs book of life is all saved during the church age. the opening of the scroll reveals the antichrist going to war and teh results thereof and the introduction of the trumpets and vials.

Nope! Way more than just God's longsuffering.

"And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,"

Certainly God does not want any to perish, but the point was that these scoffers claimed that since Genesis 1:1 nothing has changed.

Peter said, no there was a Flood and there will be a Fire. Both destructive events that changed heaven and earth.

The Day of the Lord will happen at the Second Coming, after the earth is cleansed by fire.

There have been multiple days of the Lord, each lasting a millennium.

The first one had no sin nor death. The last one will have no sin nor death.

What scroll? There is only the Lamb's book of life that has the 7 Seals.

A scroll is human imagination at work. Many think the Trumpets are rolled up in a symbolic scroll, but all human imagination.

There is no verse in Scripture stating 360 days of wrath, and you say I am wrong when I point out Scripture that states 42 months.
Wrath lasts one year before Jesus returns with His armies.

Isaiah 34

1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

2 For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

8 For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This verse (which is shown above) should tell you we are at the 6th seal.


Isaiah 34
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

Revelation 6
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.


This verse should tell you that the day of wrath lasts one year.

For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the
year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.


As I said. Jesus comes at the 6th seal for the second harvest. What is happening in heaven when Jesus returns with the great multitude. THE MARRIAGE SUPPER.

We also have this which also proves that the bridegroom does not go to war for one year after being married. That is why wrath last one year.

Deut 24
5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.

The 42 months starts after the 7th Trumpet has started.
No brother. It's all over when the 7th trumpet sounds.

The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord

Why are you not able to understand that Jesus has returned and set up His kingdom on earth. Do you not see that it is the time of judgement?

How can time run backwards and place the 42 months into a time prior to the first 6 Trumpets?

You have bad logic. It's all over at the 7th trumpet.
You are rearranging the order John gives and putting the 7th Trumpet as sounding during the Seals,

The 7th trumpet happens during the 7th seal, as do all the trumpets. How can you possibly miss this?
when the angels don't even have the Trumpets in their possession until at least a half an hour after the 7th Seal is opened.
So. That does not change the fact that the 7th seal is opened and then the 7 trumpets are given to the angels.
You keep saying the Trumpets are in the Seals, but they are not. They happen after the Seals.
Come on. The 7th seal is opened and then the trumpets begin after 30 minutes of silence.
The events are not Russian dolls stacked inside each other.
I know. The seal is opened and then the trumpets begin. What is the confusion?

The 7 Seals bind the Lamb's book of life shut. They have been in place since the foundation of the world. They have not been opened until the time of the Day of the Lord.

The seals are the final week. They are not open. They will not be open until the fullness of the Gentiles come in. After the Church is raptured part of Israel will have it's eyes opened as God keeps His promise to His people.
Revelation 13 cannot happen until the Seals are opened.
Bingo. Revelation 13 happens DURING the seals. Revelation 13 does not happen in the trumpets of wrath or in the vials of wrath.
They do not receive the mark until after the 7th Trumpet starts sounding.
IT'S ALL OVER AT THE 7TH TRUMPET. Jesus has returned and set up His kingdom. It is the time of judgement.
There are 13 events between the 7th Seal and the 7th Trumpet. 4 normal Trumpets, 2 Trumpets with 2 woes attached. Then 7 Thunders. All this happens before the 7th Trumpet can even sound.

Deut 24

You realize that is a figure of speech and not a defined period of time.

This is the year of the Second Coming.

That does not mean the Second Coming will last for a year. The Second Coming is a twinkling of an eye. Only a sloth would appreciate that a twinkling of an eye lasts 365 days.

Now if it had read: The recompenses will be poured out for a year to accomplish the vengeance of the Lord againt rebellious Jerusalem.

The time since Jesus was born has been called the year of the Lord. It is now over 2023 years later.

"The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel."

Psalms 78:31 is talking about past history and wrath on the children of Israel coming out of Egypt. God's wrath has been constantly poured out beginning with the Flood. As pointed out God's wrath will be poured out as long as there are wicked on the earth. There is no specific time frame. It stops when no more wicked are on the earth.

You do realize that 42 months is 3.5 years?

I am sure there is a year in that period somewhere for this year you are looking for.

It is not the second advent where Jesus sets His feet on the mount of Olives. Jesus comes for a harvest at the 6th seal. He sends His angels to gather the elect from heaven and earth. This is not the 7th trumpet event of the second advent.

Yes there is. Part happens in the 1st 6 seals. Then there is a year in the seventh seal before Jesus comes with the armies of heaven. The groom stays with His bride and does not go to war for a year.
It is the year of recompense.

Bingo. Revelation 13 happens DURING the seals. Revelation 13 does not happen in the trumpets of wrath or in the vials of wrath.

IT'S ALL OVER AT THE 7TH TRUMPET. Jesus has returned and set up His kingdom. It is the time of judgement.

Great. All these things happen in the 7th seal. What's the confusion?

It's OVER at the 7th trumpet.
Your sense of timing is about as ridiculous as saying the 2 world wars happened during the Civil War.

The Seals are events that happen before the 30 minutes. The Trumpets are events that happen after the 30 minutes. There is a named time period between the two, just like there is a time period between the Civil War of the 1800's and the World Wars in the 1900's.

Revelation 11:14-15

"The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded."

The second woe is at the same time as the 6th Trumpet event.

The third woe is the same time as 7th Trumpet event.

The woes are not the events. The woes are special parts of the event, distinct from the event.

The 7th Trumpet is the celebration at the end of the final harvest.

The third woe is Satan's 42 months that interrupt the week of celebration.

The 7th Trumpet starts sounding on a Sunday and by Wednesday, Satan is given 42 months which extends the sound of the 7th Trumpet by 42 months and 3.5 days.

And none of the Trumpets are heard during the 7 Seals. Revelation 13 does not happen during the glorification of the church. Revelation 13 does not happen in the midst of the rapture of those remaining on earth. Revelation 13 does not happen during the time the 144k are sealed. Revelation 13 does not happen during the first 2 woes. Revelation 13 does not happen during the Thunders nor the events of chapter 10 and 11 when John is describing what will soon happen in the 7th Trumpet.

Revelation 13 is the third woe. It cannot happen before the 7th Seal is opened, because it cannot happen before the other 2 woes and everything else prior to the celebration itself.

Revelation 13 is not the final harvest. The 7th Trumpet is not even the final harvest. It is the last week of celebration after the final harvest is over.

Revelation 13 has nothing to do with the Second Coming nor any event leading up to the 7th Trumpet.

After the sheep and goats are separated, and after the wheat and tares are gathered, the third woe only happens if there is any left to harvest called the gleanings.

"And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest."

"And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God."

"And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God."

"When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow."

"And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech."

Every harvest according to God's Word allows for gleanings, and God's final harvest is no different than what God commands.

The gleanings are those beheaded during Satan's 42 months. Only two types of people other than the 2 witnesses. Those with a mark declaring they have been blotted out of the Lamb's book of life. Those who have no head in declaration of remaining in the Lamb's book of life.

Everything in Revelation 5 is about the Lamb's book of life. Why do you think the Lamb is the only one who can open the Lamb's book of life? Is there more than one Lamb's book of life with those sealed within, double sealed, and within 7 Seals? What other book is about the Atonement of the Cross and that the redeemed are sealed and named within? Moses knew about this book that has always existed prior to creation.

"And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them."

It is clear that all have been named in the Atonement Covenant as covered by the blood of the Lamb. The only option is to be blotted out. No names are written down after the 7 seals are opened. Only at that point will names be removed. God says that all who sin against God will be removed.

God says in the day He visits, He will visit the sin of all humanity. God was not just talking about a few Israelites in the desert after coming out of Egypt. He was talking about every soul to have ever been conceived. That day is the opening of the 6th Seal.

Even those alive on the earth will see the face of the one sitting on the throne. The one no one has ever looked upon and lived.

"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal....hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne."

The harvest is just getting started at the first Trumpet. Revelation 13 and the gleanings cannot happen until after the 7th Trumpet, and the time of the gleanings commence after the reapers, the angels are finished.

"The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world."

Satan is sowing the tares while the Trumpets are sounding. The angels are reaping during the 7 Thunders. But still in the midst of the 7th Trumpet sounding there is still that third woe, the time of the gleanings.

Daniel 9:27 is the time of the gleanings. Matthew 24:15 is the time of the gleanings. But the gleanings cannot happen before the sowing and reaping. You are putting the gleanings even prior to the Second Coming when Jesus comes to earth as the Sower, per Matthew 13. You are putting the gleanings before the sheep and the goats are separated.

You have the gleanings before the Lamb's book of life is even opened.

"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals."

(The same Him who will blot out those written in the very same book.)

"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals,"

You don't think Moses saw that book that has always been in His hands while Moses was talking face to face with God? How did Moses know one could be blotted out of the book? Now at the very end of sin itself we see that same book and only Jesus could remove the Seals. And when those seals started to be opened major changes started to happen on the earth. The gleanings are the very last of those changes.

Revelation is the first time since Moses pointed out one could be blotted out that we see people no longer named in the Lamb's book of life. Not that they had never been there. But the opening of the Seals is that day when God will start to blot names out, but not until the book is opened to do so.

The goats are the first to go. The tares burnt up in the Thunders the next to go. But the rest of the dead have to wait until after the 1,000 years are over. That is when they stand as dead and judged out of the books opened, and removed from the opened Lamb's book of life. But the gleanings, those beheaded, are the only ones physically alive, still on the earth, who get to remain in the Lamb's book of life. Of course once their head is removed which Seals the deal, they are no longer alive on the earth, but dead. They are not resurrected until after the battle of Armageddon. They then stand in judgment and are granted eternal life, the first 1,000 years on this earth reigning with Christ. They are blessed, and do not stand at the GWT nor suffer the second death, the LOF.

It is not the second advent where Jesus sets His feet on the mount of Olives. Jesus comes for a harvest at the 6th seal. He sends His angels to gather the elect from heaven and earth. This is not the 7th trumpet event of the second advent.
And please show a verse where Jesus comes at the 7th Trumpet. You accuse me of making stuff up, without Scripture. But yet you do it in every answer you give, or so it seems. Jesus does set His feet on the Mount of Olives in the 6th Seal. Because He is seen by all left on the earth.

Jesus only leaves if Satan is allowed 42 months. Jesus does not co-reign on the same throne with Satan for those 42 months. There is not a throne until the 6th Seal is opened, and Jesus comes to the Mount of Olives and changes the geographical landscape and sets up a throne to rule over a peaceful Jerusalem. Satan cannot sit on a throne that does not exist yet. Jesus and the angels are on the earth for the final harvest.

You seem to confuse the church with the final harvest. The church is not a harvest. Yes the harvested today make up the church. But the scenario of the church is both. It is ongoing sowing and reaping, and the harvest continues the sowing and reaping.

Yes the church is gathered by angels from both heaven and earth before the Second Coming is finished, as the finish of the Second Coming is the mount of Olives.

How do you describe a rapture that is actually an angel pulling you up off of the ground? How do you reconcile that you were taught the body "just moves" with the fact "an angel is moving it"?

Jesus does not pull the goats and sheep up into the air. After the 7th Seal is opened, the angels transport them to the throne in Jerusalem. That is not even the final harvest of the wheat and tares. The rapture and 6th Seal deals only with the church.

The sheep and goats are judged in Jerusalem because they are all of Israel still alive where just a remnant are sheep, and the majority goats that are blotted out of the Lamb's book of life, and more than likely go straight to the LOF. We are not told. If they are already judged and removed from the Lamb's book of life, they have no need to wait for the GWT event a thousand years from now.

The same with the tares. They are thrown into the fire after being blotted out of the Lamb's book of life. This all happens after the 6th Seal is opened during the Trumpets and Thunders before the 7th Trumpet even sounds. Before even the third woe.

Yes there is. Part happens in the 1st 6 seals. Then there is a year in the seventh seal before Jesus comes with the armies of heaven. The groom stays with His bride and does not go to war for a year.
It is the year of recompense.
Nope. Because the sheep is Israel not the church. The church is Adam's descendants, all of mankind. The sheep are Jacob's descendants, all of Israel. I am not getting into who all is a bride or the body of Christ.

Technically the church marries Israel. Jesus does not marry his own body.

The body of Christ is removed at the 6th Seal. Israel the bride are the sheep still on the earth. You have Jesus off by Himself (the body of Christ the church), while the bride is still left on the earth. Or you have Jesus as a polygamist with one bride while the other bride is left on the earth.

You can figure out whose who with someone else. I will stick with John the Baptist and be a friend of the groom.

Even the entire church after the Millennium is totally rearranged with no difference in Israel or the church. The bride comes to earth where Jesus has been for the last 1,000 years with Israel no longer the bride but evidently married and reigning over the earth for 1,000 years. The church only gets married after the millennium. I guess during the Millennium they stopped being the body of Christ at some point. Seeing as how there is no room on earth nor in current Jerusalem to hold billions of glorified sons of God.

So still a year after the 7th Trumpet way after the 7th Seal. No one knows how much time the Trumpets and Thunders will take up. The time keeps getting shorter every second we are still here as the church on earth. You don't even know when the first seal was opened. The rapture is at the 5th and 6th Seal. Unless you are already in Paradise with the rest of the church you cannot see what is taking place there.

@Timtofly and @The Light

Deut 24
5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.

John 14:1-7
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well. In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

“Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?”

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Nope! Way more than just God's longsuffering.

"And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,"

Certainly God does not want any to perish, but the point was that these scoffers claimed that since Genesis 1:1 nothing has changed.

Peter said, no there was a Flood and there will be a Fire. Both destructive events that changed heaven and earth.

The Day of the Lord will happen at the Second Coming, after the earth is cleansed by fire.

There have been multiple days of the Lord, each lasting a millennium.

The first one had no sin nor death. The last one will have no sin nor death.

What scroll? There is only the Lamb's book of life that has the 7 Seals.

A scroll is human imagination at work. Many think the Trumpets are rolled up in a symbolic scroll, but all human imagination.

Revelation 5

King James Version

5 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

the word book here is biblion and also means a scroll. Given that each seal unveils a particular item most linguist believing scholars realize it is a scroll!

The Lambs Book of Life is found only in Rev. 21:27. It is a book of the names of the saved and not judgment for the earth.

The trumpets themselves are not in the scroll, but are revealed when the scroll is opened to that point.

do a little research from believers and see why over99% call it a scroll.

Even Strongs does:

biblion (Key)
Pronunciation
bib-lee'-on

The KJV translates Strong's G975 in the following manner: book (29x), bill (1x), scroll (1x), writing (1x).

Outline of Biblical Usage [?]
  1. a small book, a scroll, a written document
  2. a sheet on which something has been written
    1. a bill of divorcement
Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
βιβλίον biblíon, bib-lee'-on; a diminutive of G976; a roll:—bill, book, scroll, writing.

Historically, for the first century all were written in scroll or single pages. Books with bindings had not been invented yet.

And if you read this in context and use the rules of understanding how sentences are formes (after all grammar is done to communicate intelligently) you will see the following:

1. Because the word "as" appears, we know it is a metaphor and not literal.

2. The entire context is speaking of gods patience to see people come to repentance. that is it- it is that simple.
