There was a topic here a long while back, about how revelation negates armageddon, or vice versa. Im wondering if anyone still has this article? I saved it, but now cannot find it.

Alot of people including most christians believe The Book of Revelation is predicting a distant future event throughout its entire text while it clearly states what it is. It is a warning to the 7 "Churches" across the world not to sin or do wrong and to learn from the example of Babylon and how it was destroyed in days of old by God. Then it goes and describes in detail the process in which it was destroyed. Furthermore most christians misunderstand the "Angel Messenger of Truth" character who is telling the guy recieving the message the story and what to tell the churches. The angel character re appears with his sword mouth in the invasion of Babylon, but Christians say it is Jesus even though it indicates who it is clearly. Jesus makes a special cameo appearance near the end where he tells the one recieving the message not to bow to him but to bow to God instead as he is a simple servant like the man recieving this message, the angel says the same thing at the end too. I believe the book of Revelation does in the VERY end have a prediction about the ressurection of mankind and judgement day, but that the story of Babylon was not about the future but was about the past as the angel repeats "Babylon is fallen" a few times to remind people how it is gone and to learn from its destruction not to sin.
