You have not reconciled Peter's declaration of the beginning of the last days at Pentecost, with the timing of Revelation 12 and 13.
The timing is the same. Such repetition where something is told in different ways, is simply a Hebrew form of teaching (not two different events).
For your own peace of mind, consider that "then (a war broke out in heaven)", gives the timing saying "then" regarding "every tribe and people and tongue and nation"--the very definition of the "gentiles." Meaning: "Then" during "the times of the gentiles"--which does reconcile with Peter's identifying the beginning of the "last days" at Pentecost.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE and i rejoice that you know this = Shalomrepetition where something is told in different ways, is simply a Hebrew form of teaching (not two different events).
ABSOLUTELY TRUE as wellbeginning of the "last days" at Pentecost.
Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, = includes the Jewish people who are a nation NOT Thee Nation
And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”
i do not see "timing" here but i do SEE fulfillment of Prophecy = Matthew 24:14
Please give more elaboration - thank you Brother @ScottA
