The Beast Revelation

No. I'm not wrong. It is clear from the context that Jesus was speaking of future events. When these events happen, the end is very near. The generation that witnesses these events will see the coming of Christ.
I already have. Several times...along with every other Scripture relating to the end times. Anyway, you're off topic, so I'm going to ignore you.
Revelation was written for 7 churches in the first century. Jesus says nothing about the future. Remember, by then the temple had been destroyed, the Christians had fled to Pella and the tribulation was over.

1Thessalonians 4:16-17
PostmodernProphet
fully immersed in faith..
do you by any chance recall him saying anything about you know, maybe coming back some day?......
Thessalonians was written about 52 ad by Paul when he was in Athens... Long before Paul's death and the destruction of the temple.

Did you read the two verses?

Are you claiming that already happened?
Revelation has NOTHING to do with modern day Palestine or HAMAS.
It is common to think of prophecy as predictions, but to an Israelite mind prophecy is primarily a proclamation of previously known truth, a call to return and not to forget the important matters. Thus, the Book of Revelation can be called an apocalyptic letter containing prophecy, combining at least three genres in one document (apocalyptic, epistolary and prophetic).

It wasn’t a foretelling, a prediction, it was a forthtelling, the act of making something public, publishing, or declaring the word of God. The writer is talking current conditions, not making a prediction.
It makes sense if you read it in its proper context.
Christian films often portray that all those who have not received the mark of the beast will be killed, this is a symbolic truth. The circumstances are true, but they missed the real meaning due to some failed interpretations. All those who have not taken the mark are killed, this part is true, but those who have not taken the mark are Hamas. The mark was given during the elections for the president of the Palestinian authority, which was boycotted by Hamas. Hamas has never received the mark. Films like to portray all people as subject to the mark. This part is wrong. It only affects those Palestinians who did not take the mark, and not the whole world. It is only Hamas. This makes the mark as what the letter indicates. It was the indelible ink brand given to those who voted in the Palestinian elections.

Does it say anything about the beast being a pedophile?

There is no such thing as "Pauline" Christianity there is just christianity. You worshipers of Paul are something else.
The following is an exchange of ideas on a popular forum. I thought that it was quite indicative of the state of the Christian mind today.
BH said:
"In no reality does Hamas represent those who have not taken the brand. They are murderers, liars, they kill babies, rape women and call it divine, they manipulate the media to make themselves look better than they are, and those who live in darkness believe in media manipulation. I am sorry to tell you this, but your mind is in darkness, and the light of the Lord Jesus is far from your perception.
My answer follows.
Christians are deceived by their own interpretations. They believe in them so firmly that when the true meaning is presented, it is completely rejected. The Lord said that He would do a work in our day, which, even if it were told, would not be believed. Your problem goes back a long way. It begins with one failed interpretation after another. What I find so astonishing about this topic is that no matter how many times I am right, Christians will always deny what I have presented. In your world, you are waiting for some kind of mark that will be implemented worldwide. I have discussed this in the letter. The first thing you need to know is who is being talked about. If you say "all people", then you will already be starting from a false premise. Then, you'll need to imagine a series of circumstances to match your conclusions. The most revealing of your interpretations is that you say nothing. You do not provide any details, and it is always coming soon. What bothers me the most is that you hide the real answers. It is a total shame that a person spends his whole life learning his beliefs, and when the time comes to apply the meanings, has no idea. The Lord said to watch. You have failed in this undertaking. You did something though, you interpreted. Now you are waiting for your ideas to come true, which will never happen.
This paragraph is not part of the original response.
It is easy to discern from B.H.'s commentary a certain set of beliefs. What he believes is that Hamas could not be the one that did not accept the mark because they are terrorists. Meaning that the mark will be implemented on a different group. A group that does not commit terrorist acts. Who is this group? If you've been following these teachers for years, the answer is clear. All those who have not accepted the mark are Christians. Christians will not accept the mark because they do not want to worship the beast, even under the penalty of not being able to buy or sell. This is the set of beliefs that B. H. holds as truth while he disputes me, that I should accept as true, which he does not even realize has been corrupted. False teachings that have been accepted by the majority have turned the true meaning of Revelation 13 into a polar opposite. Why would anyone consider what I have to say when such false teachings are so widely believed? I just wanted to emphasize this point because it's a blinder over the eyes of anyone interested in Bible prophecy. michae1
