So, I'm starting this thread to see how MAD people view the Book of Revelation. MAD people have a view that prophecy was suspended because Israel rejected the Messiah. I don't fully understand this view, but I don't reject it either. It seems difficult to ascertain from a plain reading of scripture....but at the same time that doesn't make it false. I guess I'm saying I have much more to learn about this MAD understanding.
Anyway, I have some serious problems with the Book....as any Bible believer should because of this...Deut 18.
"And if you say in your heart, ‘How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him."
So, this is clear. If a prophet speaks a word and it doesn't come to pass then the word is not from the Lord.
In Deuteronomy 14 we are told that if a prophet speaks a word to serve other gods, besides the Lord - even if the word comes to pass it's not from the Lord.
That prophets can speak falsely. Lamentations 3:37 Matthew 7:15 Matthew 24:11 Jeremiah 14:14
