Satan could symbolize the roman Empire and the lake of fire could symbolize their defeat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To reveal something is future tense. And yes the Revelation is symbolic, but God gaves us the keys to those symbols in Danial and Ezekiel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xan Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Who proclaimed himself to be god in the temple. And since Revelations was written after the second temple has been destroyed, then when was the third temple built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
