Hi All

JJ you said
But something changed after these words were spoken, because so few people responded in a positive manner.

It appears from first glance that nearly all Israel rejected the message. And in the physical nation, there's a lot of merit to that observation. But most of the House of Israel was not living in the 'Land' at that time.

Ephraim/Israel had been scattered among the gentiles/nations and as such were living all over the middle east and in the north. Specifically the British Isles, there was a tribe in Spain, but most of Israel was made up of the ancient nations or rather empires of Parthia and Scythia.

So when the Apostles left Judea this is where they went. For example it is well known that Thomas was sent to India, James the brother of John was sent to Spain. Shortly after the second century AD there was a mass migration into Europe from Parthia and Scythia and many of the European peoples are in fact of the ancient House of Israel.

I say this because the Apostles did not stray from what Yahshua said, i know you did not imply this, but just the same, it's important to know these things in order to see that they carried out their missions to the T.

Anyway what you had said about the 'Book of Revelation'
I do agree that there is merit in what was in the article that you mentioned and that point has bugged a lot of people.

I expect that here in would lie the debate if there was one, did 'shortly have only to do with the message to the 7 Churches or did it have to do with the whole thing?

I find it particularly interesting that the NWO has been using the Rev scenario to implement their various agendas for world domination. Their plan is to eliminate 90% of the world pop. They have been operating according to _script_.

But what I find even more interesting is that Christian have their end time scenario where 90% of the world's population perishes in these days with the Christians inheriting what's left over and also being the rulers of the planet.
The Jews also have a very similar scenario, except they are operating out of Eze 38-39 with the end result being the same except now they are the rulers of the planet and everyone is their slave.
And of course the NWO has their scenario made of both Rev and Eze 38-39.
In all three 90% of the world's pop is eliminated and the controlling group is now ruling the planet.

This is probably best discussed on another thread. But it was brought up, the veracity of Revelation.
