Revelations was speaking about the past, present, and future not just entirely about future events yet to take place.Exactly why i dont pay any head to revelation/ apocalyptic nonsense by @mcveteran81 and @Scyther. They claim to be so educated in the bible but fail to grasp that the revelation book was not about the end times. It was written in a similar fashion as other contemporary writers of the time, as all were using apocalyptic language in their narratives. It also made a decent way to hide their true intent in their words from Rome.
