Book of Revelations Christanon 10/28/17 (Sat) 03:51:35 430923 No.545684

What is your church's official stance on the Book of Revelations?

Is it literal, or figurative? How will 1/3rds of all stars fall on earth if stars can be the size of earth or bigger?

We don't really see a binary choice. A broad range of views are held, but most commonly postmillenial.

i'm pretty sure the 1/3 rd of the stars thing is a reference to the 1/3rd of angles who followed satan

Postmillenialism is pretty figurative/abstract/howeveryoucallthat.

Fire and brimstone

<Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

The mark of the beast is a way for Satan to replenish his army by bringing everyone else down with him.

Last book of the Bible, about end times and icons of it, fall of Jerusalem being one of best.

Non-Amillennialism is heresz though.

>Is it literal, or figurative?

Both

>How will 1/3rds of all stars fall on earth if stars can be the size of earth or bigger?

Stars=Angels and it's vision of past, not future.
