Isn’t this a vision? Why is there a view that John is using his own perspective or language? I don’t get it.

    Rev 19:10 - "For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation is full of Biblical imagery and symbolism meant to convey the fulfillment of God's program. It was not and is not strange to those who know their Bible. God will keep all of His covenant promises to His people Israel and the church will reign here on earth with him. But the judgement to come is not mere symbolism any more than the judgements he brought before with the flood of Noah or the plagues of Egypt. It is the conclusion of His program with Israel to turn their hearts to Him. The church will not be present because it is distinct from Israel. We will be delivered from the wrath to come. We are not appointed unto wrath. We are the bride of Christ. Michael J Vlach also stresses the fact that God will be present here on earth with man, but from a dispensational viewpoint. ruclips.net/video/gP8-JzpAeZY/видео.htmlsi=CMgt_da6wXknAp2P

    There are many clues in Revelation that explains it. It says a few times that the things were about to happen. Not to seal up the words for a later time. Even the New Jerusalem was explained to represent the Bride, or the church. Outside it's walls there were sinners, and the Spirit and Bride call them to come in. The Plagues were not literal world events because anyone who adds to the words of the book would have the plagues added to them. And the rapture is easily proven to be what Jesus called four times "the last day."

    Well, you have to look at the book of Revelation in conjunction with the book of Daniel. I do not agree with his view, but I guess we are all seeking the Lord and hopefully we will know the truth some day. That day may also be sooner than many would think. There are too many prophecies that are pointing to this time in which the world will experience things never before seen. At lease these guys are talking about things such as the Rapture of the Church, so in a way they are teaching people about it, so when it happens, many would know and would not fall for the lies of Satan and his followers.

    The first four verses of Revelation ch. 1 explains what the book is about. It is a revealing of truth, written in signs/symbols (made more plain in the original Greek), of things that will immediately start to happen. Its messenger is clearly John, and he is instructed by Jesus to deliver this message to seven churches in Asia, who is the intended audience. Whatever this book means, its interpretation must be relevant to those specific individuals who, in the first century, were members of one of those seven churches in Asia. To make the meaning of this book about things several thousand years later in defiance of what the text actually says is to not pay attention at all to the text. Words really do mean things.

    I hold to the teaching of the catching away of the Bride of Christ, before the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The subject of the Rapture is one of innumerable issues thriught the Old and New Testaments, MUST be viewed through the eyes of the Hebrew roots that God set down in. Sadly with all of the education that Wright has, somehow, Holy Spirit has not opened his heart or mind to the Jewish nature of God, of Jesus/Yeshua, which is recapitulated in such careful detail throughout Revelation and it's interweaving of Daniel and the entire Old Testament. How many Christians know the Gospel given in Jeremiah 30 and toward? How many of the +20,000 Protestant Christian denominations set any priority on going to Jews before other "church" efforts? Why do Catholics create some unscriptural calculation for the day to celebrate Jesus' resurrection? When it was clearly set to be on Passover? It is sad that after 3 years of your fine video short on the views of Wright, only about 200 viewers feel confident enough to comment on this topic, which has become controversial, as the "modern mind" in societies around the world feel the concept is so unusual, and unlike any other religious doctrine known . Mr Wright clearly shows he is aware of the language and idiosyncratic aspects of Paul's language, but fails to consider Paul's inherent Jewish education under Gamaliel, the delicate references to Jewish language context that Scripture was taught in the time of Jesus and of Paul. The record of Jesus' miraculous acts in Scripture start what? Creating the celebratory wine for a Jewish wedding feast. The parables Jesus' taught with including the one called the 10 virgins, deals with a procession of a Jewish wedding party. In Judaism, once the promise of marriage is made, the groom would go and build a place for he and his bride to live often simply adding on a room to a family home. Jesus' return to Earth after His resurrection, is a manifold fulfillment of promises and plans from Scripture, anchored solidly, clearly in Jewish traditions God gave and/or approved of. - As Jesus approved of the Feast of Lights/Haunukkah not given at Sinai. I'm a feeble bible scholar. I respect Mr. Wright's lifelong continued study and teaching of the Gospel. Yet there clearly remains this absence of the sense-making, unifying factor of the ancient concepts, practices and doctrines, with the documented prophecy of future fulfillment of all Jesus' words and plans. Even if Wright fails to see, or refuses to study or admit the facts, the Rapture is simply coherent, direct fulfillment of Jewish marriage feast principles and practices, including those explicitly endorsed that fellow who seems to keep popping up in the New Covenant (promised by God, through Jeremiah, yes another one of those Jewish guys. I truly hope Mr. Wright doesn't miss the opportunity to see and experience the joyous, multifaceted beauty, salvation, fulfillment of promises that God has set before any who will believe, including the undeniable, logical reasonable, and foretold Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and the Groom's keeping His promise that the faithful will never suffer the wrath of God for unrepentant sinners. Listen to the beautiful, well indexed audio teaching. Free on web, of Messianic Perspectives, from Christian Jew Foundation. Read the scholarly books and teaching of Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum, of Ariel Ministries. The world and tragically the vast majority of "the Church" know sonlittle about the regathering of the multitudes of Israel to be regathered to that very real geographic place of Israel, where the Savior of Humanity was killed, and was resurrected, fully in detailed accord with scriptural prophecies dating from the oldest book of the Bible, Job, to the last book of Scripture we yet know of Revelation. It's all a Jewish or Hebraic tradition, with all the grace extended to non-Jews. It would only be polite of Wright to spend a weekend or two, between public denials of Scripture and doctrines he's ignorant of, to review scholars' work such as Dr. Fruchtenbaum's and others in the Messianic Jewish/Christian school. Recall Jesus said, "what you do to the least of these you do to Me."? I'm confident there will be no ill effect on the great brain and mind of Mr Wright if he only slightly increases the scope and depth and range of his knowledge by just another, fundamental span. (It might be another revolution or "move of the Holy Spirit" within the 7 types of Churches we have been given as models - where only 2 come out as really paying attention for the whole time.) Is this an insurmountable challenge to one who must surely know that Jesus restores and keeps us all? For all our sakes, and the sakes of our generation's heirs, I hope he "gives it a go."

    I had not heard of NT Wright until recently. I am still reading up so I can fully understand his views. On first blush though I always get worried when someone thinks they are the only one that gets things right. And as far as Revelation covering only through 70AD, it seems really limiting that God reveals something this huge to John, and it was over before the first century was concluded. When Daniel had his vision it covered several hundred years just to get through the Roman Empire. Again it seems such a waste to have John see this vision that was basically over before he even died. Lots of questions myself about Revelation, but I am not sure Mr. Wright is RIGHT!! 🙂

      Well, NT Wright is correct, insomuch as he points out the flaws in MacArthur's pre-trib rapture theories. However, there's a lot of good reasons to believe that on the whole they are both wrong. Seems to me if the writer of the book of Revelation (the Apostle John) taught his disciples Historical Premillennialism (Post-tribulation return of Christ, and 1,000 year reign on earth) then I'm going to need a lot of evidence to believe that he was wrong. There is no reason to allegorize the ENTIRE book of Revelation, or most of the Olivet Discourse. When the Bible uses plain language, it should be interpreted as such...and a plain reading of the Revelation 20 as well as the Olivet discourse leads to Historical Premillennialism...NOT Amillennialism or Dispensationalism.

    This man has done more damage to Anglicans than anyone else. The book of Revelation is the gospel of Christ as dictated to John. He is not Wright, he is wrong, wrong, wrong.

      He has I would argue , done exactly the reverse of what you say. He understands the inaugurated enacted eschatology of the Kingdom of God. His writings are outstanding. Thus his critics. He draws light into the darkened room of American dispensationalism ,and its unfortunate fellow travellers of Christian Zionism and prosperityspeak. I wonder which of his many books you are acquainted with?

    If we believe in physical Rapture then God is monster! God didn't come to destroy but to save all creation including people! Even OT says priests and prophets had raptures but it was not about you are gone but everyone are punished! 70 priests in time of Aaron webt up to heaven ( had rapture) and stayed on saphire floor but they returned. Enoch had rapture many times until he forgot to die and went to heaven permanently! Why not us to go to heaven and back ( have rapture or ascension) and bring back what we saw there like it was in OT?

    What you and the Anglicans and Protestant's get wrong not just from the book of Revelations but from the entire kjv book because it is not a bible, first of all is that you read it Subjectively from your own perspective, that is wrong. It should be read Subjectively from the Authors perspective it is then that you will see the truth, but for thexfullness of truth in a real Bible get one that has 73 book in it not 66, get yourself a Douay-Rheims Bible. Then, your eyes will be opened to the truth.

    That Revelation is about new creation is an oversimplification. Chapters 4-20 is about judgment, struggle, suffering. New creation doesn't come until chapter 20. So, it is about much more than new creation which is the culmination. Chapters 4 on are not about now. Why would John need to tell them symbolically about that which they already knew. It is all coming. So, what is it? That is where hermeneutics comes in. It is all in the future. It has nothing to do with the Babylonian captivity or the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD that was history when John wrote the book. Chapters 2-3 is the already; chapters 4-22 is the not now.

    I've read NT since the early '90's. He has changed. Not going to debate his presentation. I would just suggest if someone is interested in a real exegetical study of the book, take a gander at Robert Thomas' 2 vol (1600 pages) exegetical commentary on Rev. Therein is commentary for both the lay person and at the end of each section, a Greek exegetical analysis. Highly readable. He explains it chronologically plus explains how it was understood by the early churches. Daniel's rev was said to be sealed until the later days but Rev was to be open and comprehended from the moment it was read to the 7 churches. There is a comment here by a Jewish believer who rightly objects the plain OT references in Rev being abducted by all too many who do not allow scripture to interpret scripture. How can you understand Rev 12 without referring back to the OT? It all comes down to hermeneutics. There is no justification for using any methodology other than what Jesus and the writers of the scriptures used, that being the normative, the literal, the historic/grammatical hermeneutic whatever label you want to assign to it.

      @leefury7 "There is no justification for using any methodology other than what Jesus and the writers of the scriptures used, that being the normative, the literal, the historic/grammatical hermeneutic whatever label you want to assign to it." Exactly!!!! And that approach proves both MacArthur and N.T. Wright to be wrong. This historical gramatical hermeneutical approach when applied to eschatology in the same way it is applied to every other doctrine leads directly to Historical Premillennialism (post-tribulation return of Christ and 1,000 year reign on earth). I mean if it's what the Apostle John (The guy who wrote the book of Revelation to start with) taught HIS disciples, then it's good enough for me....especially when historical gramattical hermeneutics lead to the exact same position.

      @@leefury7 You said: "Well Christ does return to earth after the 7 yr Trib but He comes in the air prior to the Trib to catch up His Bride/the Church to be with Him while wrath is poured out on the earth." I thought you said that you believed in historical/grammatical hermeneutics? You can't follow that hermeneutical approach AND still believe in a pre-trib rapture. (Unless like most dispensationalists you just choose not to read the parts that contradict what you choose to believe) There's only ONE return of Christ. It's described in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, 1 Thessalonians 4, and 1 Corinthians 15. If there's another additional return of Christ anywhere in the Bible, please give me a scripture reference.

    (Sorry for the VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be espoused) Kind Sir Mr N.T. Wright...the're untold "wrongs" (errors); in ALL bibles. IE... Compare Deuteronomy 24:1 vs Matthew 19:3-8. And, Matthew 1:1 vs John 8:58 and Matthew 22:41-45. Then, James 2:17 vs Ephesians 2:8-9. And Hebrews 10:26 vs Mark 3:28-29, ETC! all over! Sad, but OH so True!. Dadgum satan😈! For there is contradictions and errors😈, etc; from Gen to Rev. And the most errors are in Deuteronomy, Daniel and Revelation. It took me 16 yrs of study, research and prayers; to finally understand those 3 Books. And the rest of the bible also... But thanks to Jesus; I now know most of the errors😈; and I can believe most of the truths* from Jesus 😇! Praise His Holy Name❤.... ...in any case Mr Wright and Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN! * I am still seeking "Golden Truths" from Jesus; and spitting at "Fools-gold" from satan. Promulgated in hell!

    Here is what Christianity gets wrong in the Book of Revelation: . Jesus Christ quoting the Messianic Psalm 2 about someone other than himself: . Revelation 2:26-27 And to him that conquers and observes my deeds down to the end I will give authority over the nations, 27 and he shall shepherd the people with an iron rod so that they will be broken to pieces like clay vessels ** THE SAME ** as I have received from my Father . A man with THE SAME authority as Jesus Christ! . A man who will be king of the Nations (Gentiles). . . You know what the Jews did to their king, the king of the Jews. . What do you think the Gentiles will do to their own king, the king of the Nations? . . Read Psalm 2 . .

    If you are satisfied with a box of puzzle in a state of disarray, that's where you will rest. But if you look at it as something that needs to be fitted together to make it a beautiful picture the creator intends you to see, then you need to change your view from mere symbolism, idealism to the prophetic interpretation to get a beautiful picture. Or be satisfied with the puzzle in confusion.

    The Bible does say that there will be a new heaven and a new earth. Whether God destroys the old earth and creates a new one might not matter much, however, you can be sure that the new earth will have absolutely no resemblance to the one we live on today. We won't be able to go visit Paris or go and check out the old neighbourhood. Yes, we will still have our memories, that is imperative. Just remember boys, there's no sex on the new earth. Can you handle that?

    God would have invented the crucifixion. Jesus needed his execution to be very public and over a long period of time so that He could say what He needed to say; so that he had a lot of witnesses; so that He could endure more than any other human would and do it without sin; so that He could finish it in His own time. Everything about Christ's life was planned out to perfection.
