Do you think there is ever "really" gonna be an end of the world as stated in the book of Revelations?
I hear alot of christians denounce Islam due to the fact that Muhammed became a prophet after Jesus's crucifixion. Well, if this is the case then John of Patmos (author of Revelation) is in the same boat as Muhammed making Revelations a book of heretical teaching that shouldn't have ever been canonized because he wrote his "visions" while being banished to the island of Patmos after Jesus had been crucified. The writing was originally called the Apocalypse, which means "hidden meaning", just as the book of Daniel is an apocalyptic writing that refers to being captive in Babylon. He was banished by Nero who hated christians and it's no surprise that since the alphabet of his language has numeric value that the famous 666 can be decoded into "Nero". He sent his writings to the seven churches of Asia to be read by fellow christians. I think he was angry for being sent away and if he did have those dreams they were not prophetic at all. Look this stuff up before you answer please...
