Or we can simply be taught by it.Oh like I said you can use scripture for your defensive
Satan and his Antichrist are in charge of the world as we speak. This New World Order is under his control. All sorts of destructuve evil is being generated by this. Can you not see America being destroyed, Christianity being persecuted, anti-Semitism, the family being redefined, sexual perversions spreading and corrupting our children, our genders designed by God redefined?
This is Satanic control and influence. He has these elites (the ultra-rich, lovers of money and atheists at heart) under his control. When we read about the powers of darkness, the principalities in charge of certain areas of the world, we can see their strongholds: Communist China, N. KOREA, Russia, 80+ ISLAMIC Nations, India, etc. He controls them with either their religious systems, money or atheism - whatever works. Whatever way he can keep you away from Christ, is considered a success. The West is controlled differently, with wealth. But all by lies and fear to accomplish his goal. Nations held by corrupt fascist rule like Venezuela, we see once thriving countries being destroyed, suffering economic ruin. Satan is about the collapse the world economies and this will happen with the Great Reset - which BTW they want to usher in before the end of the year.
Then the Mark of the Beast is enforced. Without it you will not be able to buy or sell.
Your denial that Satan is roaming around like a lion ready to devour you or that he is ineffective, is locked up, defeated is a delusion and lie that he has devised.
Amen plus John’s writings are after 70 ad when supposedly satan was done away with which makes John a liar .1 Peter 5:8 KJV
8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Are you being vigilant? Or has the time of vigilance passed? We live in a certain reality, and if we recognize our real state of being, isn't that a benefit than if we are mistaken?
Much love!
Sure you do since he writes the book long after 70ad.I just simply believe John wasn’t lying to those in the seven churches in Asia.
Sure you do since he writes the book long after 70ad.

Says who , you ?Why doesn’t John mention the destruction of the temple then in his letter? It would have been important to do so.
There will be a new temple constructed in the future .The reason (@Christophany) that it is asked is because, John actually mentions the temple still standing in Revelation 11:1-2. If he wrote it later on in 90 AD, why would he write about measuring the temple, in Revelation 11:1-2, considering there was no temple standing in 90Ad.
There will be a new temple constructed in the future .

Thank you for confirming how you look at the Revelation, it is talking about a future "new temple", I disagree with this, and believe it was talking about the second temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Romans in 70AD.
Hopefully people will realize what I am trying to saying in post number #34, and think for themselves on the matter considering most "datings" can be debated. I believe that Johns letter could have been as early as "68-69AD" before the destruction had commenced. Also I see Nero as the Anti-Christ, and the persecution of Christians would soon be ended in such as of Neros day as great as it was would never ever be again.
Matthew 24:21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
Matthew 24:34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
A Biblical generation is considered 40 years.
(Numbers 14:33)
People can disagree it is fine, most people have their own confirmation biases and they are hard to overcome, but those who seek for truth will, and God seeks for people to worship him in Spirit and in truth.
This is not a judgement on anyones salvation that is through the blood shed of Christ alone. It is simply just an observation if anything.
Matthew, the problem with false teaching is that the context of scripture is not taken into the mix. They just pick a verse and build a doctrine on it and don't even know what's being said!
In Matt. 24:34 Jesus not speaking of the generation present at His time. This mistake is the failure to study the context!
Up to vs. 33 He is telling the Jews what is to come to pass before the great tribulation, He is showing them how to know it is here.
Vs. 33,
" So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors"
He is speaking of the future generation that will witness that these things are taking place!
In vs 34 "This Generation" is not the generation Jesus is speaking to at the time, but the future generation that will see those things come to pass.
Most people who hold a futurist disposition say this. It is nothing new to me, they really do not believe that Jesus in this context of Him talking to those disciples who came and ask him, what is the end of the age?
Luk 21:7 And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, when, then, will these things be? And what [is] the sign when these things may be about to happen?”
Mar 13:3 And as He is sitting at the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning Him by Himself,
Mar 13:4 “Tell us when these things will be? And what [is] the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?”
Mat 24:3 And when He is sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came near to Him by Himself, saying, “Tell us, when will these be? And what [is] the sign of Your coming, and of the full end of the age?”
Was he lying to them? Surely not, Charlie.

Of course He didn't lie! He was speaking to future Israel that have His words written in scripture, this New Testament. They can read what Christ said almost 2000 years ago and know when it about to happen.
He was speaking to them through scripture not the generation of the apostles. The generation He is peaking of is yet to come.
Again, "this generation" is the future generation of Israel that will witness the signs that the Great Tribulation is here!
