Also, other books in the Bible are written in Hebrew and so the English translation is lax. PLus, the Hebrew expression for “the time to come” means the latter day.
About 25% of the New Testament is made up of quotes from the Old Testament, and most of those quotes come from the book of Isaiah. This is telling us what is happening today.
A prophecy in Ezekiel describes a time of violence and race war. “Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled. Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none” (Ezekiel 7:23-25).
The word “heathen” in this passage isn’t an insult. It comes from the Hebrew word gowy and means non-Israelite. But the “worst of the heathen” refers to the type of non-Israelites who pledge to kill people, kill their women, kill their children, kill their dogs, and kill their cats. This prophecy in Ezekiel says that so many bloody crimes will occur in the end time that they will be like links in a chain—one following right after another. It describes the seizure of people’s homes and conflict between Israelites and non-Israelites: race war.
There were 12 tribes of Israel. Britain (Efraim), America (Manassah) and Israel (Judah) are 3 of the the birthright nations. It is in this context, Israelites vs non-Israelites.
This means that the Bible’s end-time prophecies concerning Israel are directed at its modern descendants (principally the United States, Britain and the modern Middle Eastern nation of Israel, as well as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and other nations).
Another verse. Isaiah 1:7. "Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire...." This is talking about race wars in our cities.
This is all leading to the return of Jesus Christ. What is happening now are signs. The media and the Democrats are fanning the flames of hate. Left-wing agitators will burn down the whole nation (Isaiah 1:7). This is because there is an evil spiritual force seeking to destroy America.
It's a strategy for destruction. That is the real agenda behind BLM.
Again, “Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers” (Isaiah 1:7).
So it's not just in Revelation. But remember, the Bible interprets itself. You have to look in other parts to understand it.
