Survival Guide to the Biblical Apocalypse

If I was God I would simply thank everybody for participating and then turn the sun off.

Bible gameplay: Go to church, pray, etc Bible lore:

I think the problem is we take things too literally. "Eyes all over" doesnt necessarily mean actual biological eyes all around their body. It could also mean omnipresent.

I'm a Theologian and have to say: this was very well depicted and explained summary of the events of apocalypse in The Book of Revelation. Well done.

When I was a kid I asked my mom about Revelations and 2012. To put me at ease, my mom said "Only God knows when the world is going to end" So everyday I would wake up and say to myself "the world will end today". Which meant if God was going to do it then, he couldn't anymore since he was not the only one who knew it would be that day.

The Bible states clearly that only God Himself knows when the End will happen. So idk why some Christians especially keep thinking they can predict when it will happen. Lol.

As a child/teen, growing up, reading through the Bible, I had nightmares after attempting to read Revelations

I like how during the apocalypse with giant manticore locuts and dragons and earthquakes that shatter the whole world people are still worried about buying and selling things. Like after dodging demons and nightmare creatures now you have to deal with the self-checkout in walmart that isnt working because your beast code isnt scanning

Everybody gangsta until the second coming of Christ

The fact that John refers to the things around the throne as "living creatures" implies that he literly recognizes basically NOTHING about them other than that they are alive.

Learning about revelation just now is honestly scary.

“Why are you always so tired during the day?!?” The shit I watch at 2AM:

How to survive the apocalypse “that’s the neat part, you don’t”

"How do you survive the apocalypse?" "You don't." "How do you die in the apocalypse?" "YOU DON'T."

Hey, man. I know I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to clarify some things. First of all, great work! As a Christian, I thought this was a fairly clear summary of what the book of Revelation says. As you mentioned some of the text is meant to be taken figuratively and some of it is meant to be taken literally. Also, there are other aspects of the Biblical apocalypse that are not in the book of Revelation, but are in other prophetic books, such as Daniel and Isaiah, so this is not the absolute complete picture of what we Christians believe is to come. Also, when it comes to Biblical prophecies, they have a tendency to refer to multiple different time frames. For example, if a prophet talked about a king or an empire falling (not specific), then an event like it would likely happen in the prophet's lifetime and then a similar event would also occur after the prophet had died. It's an interesting phenomenon. So while, in a way, Nero could have been the "antichrist" equivalent in John's lifetime and some of these events happened during that time, but that was not the true apocalypse. (I'm sure you recognized this). Second, Revelation is not necessarily a one-to-one timeline of events. Some of the things are meant to represent events that have already happened (the dragon trying to eat the child of the woman crowned with twelve stars is meant to represent Jesus' death and resurrection (i think)). Others could be happening now and others will happen in the future and some of them may happen simultaneously. It's not the clearest book when it comes to timeline, but that just adds to the idea that only God knows the day and the hour. Three, (this one is unconsequential) I noticed that you said that the armies of the earth would come to fight each other at the valley of Megiddo, but the text actually says that they all join together to fight against the armies of God which is why we get the depiction of the blood flowing for something like 3 miles up to a horse bridle. This is interesting too becuase Napoleon Bonaparte once implied that the valley would have been the perfect place for the largest battle in history. Four (sorry i have a lot of points that I wanted to add), the book of Revelation is accredited to the Apostle John (the one who wrote the gospel of John). Five, I noticed that you said that scholars claimed that the book had been edited, which is likely not true. While the book has been copied, if it was included in the canon determined by the Council of Nicea then there were multiple different copies that had all said the exact same thing or similar enough things that they could determine what the original text actually said. That becomes a discussion of Canonicity and how the canon was determined. And I'm pretty sure that my comment is long enough as it is, but I'd be happy to explain if anyone is interested.

whenever my mom preaches about the world ending, i rewatch this video and it makes me feel better. thank you

i was raised in church, and one thing i realized that you can’t disagree with is that the bible lore is epic

I like how God doesn’t flood the earth, just to keep his promise

I think it’s interesting how detailed John is in writing revelation. He’s so precise it really seems like by the way it written someone actually wrote down what they saw

My parents used to talk about all this when I was a kid, which had two effects: It freaked my th f out, and didn't have any positive effects on my life or behavior at all. To quote a famous carpenter, "I have not given you the spirit of fear..." My two cents: Be kind, just keep living your best life, and things will go as well as they can go in a world of seeming chaos and constant unknowns.
