| Anonymous Coward User ID: 61639357 United States08/10/2015 02:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It has become clear to me recently that many people may be looking at bible prophecy from the wrong angle. Could it be that instead of a prophecy it is a script ("scripture") to be followed and played out when the time is "right". Not just revelation but other parts of the bible (and I assume other "scriptures"). I don't know but it may be worth keeping an eye on what ends up happening to Damascus. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14767680 I have to agree with you, OP, the bible scrip-tures in Revelation and other parts of the bible are scripts that are being followed. |

Technically, "script" and "scriptre" simply mean "writing", but the purpose is what matters. An actor's "writing" is to tell them what part to play and words to say, while "The Scriptures" are sacred writings which are from God to his people. Though they include parts that tell us what to do, they include much more: reporting news, recording history, publishig poetry, etc. Prophecy is when God tells us something, whether it's for now or a future time. Revelation was given almost 2,000 years ago, and it draws heavily from earlier Biblical prophecies from Daniel, Joel, and others. All of these prophecies together show what will happen, according to God through the prophets. But rather than the forces of evil writing this "script", God is making them "play it out" whether they like it or not. They may think they're in control and defying God, but the last laugh will be on them. |

So those who craft media simply feed literal interpretation to everybody and soon those who eat it can only hear what they have been given to understand. Is an earthquake in scripture a real earthquake for example? Is the flood in scripture a real flood for example? Even when the flood comes out of the dragon's mouth? A mouth given to speak.... So, are those in media simply giving a false understanding to the masses thereby making the vast majority think "prophecy" is happening? For example, hearing Revelation is to be blessing, but transformed into a mayan style apocalypse of burning meteors it becomes a living nightmare. And easily enacted by men with lying signs and wonders. |

It could well serve as a preface to the Bible IMO. |
