"The world can be a strange place. Coincidences happen, all the time. But you must admit, this one is one crazy, wild coincidence."
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man. And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, ... Revelation 9:1-8
I certainly am not going to argue (in the true liberal sense of the word 😉).
There are many who believed the events of Revelation spoke to the literal churches in the first century and described how to endure and persevere during those end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it times. I mean, people who didn’t say “Caesar is King” got fed to lions. Babies were left exposed to the elements to die.
pFizer death shots are about as deadly as being fed to lions. They just look more palatable than ravenous beasts in a stadium. “The government knows best” sounds in essence a lot like “Caesar is king.”
"the events of Revelation spoke to the literal churches in the first century" -- well, most of it. The final judgement and new heavens and earth are still agreed to be future by all orthodox Christians. ;)
Not too sure about that. The tares are harvested first. And then the wheat has to go through the ‘tribulum’ to separate the wheat from the chaff. Also. There is more than one harvest.

After the Church is Raptured.
Depends on one’s theological viewpoint.

Indeed.
