Yeah, I'm with you! I need to study Revelation 11 a bit closer; and I have to go to the meeting in an hour. [guess what I'll be doing at the meeting?] I'll be back later
You are looking for things to happen in the present that have already transpired in the past. The Watchtower is gone. They are a member of Babylon, they are a false church or religion at this time.
Revelation 12 and 13 have happened? Which nation-state-amalgam trampled on <some group> and is currently giving the final witness to the world at large?
You're probably right. One time period, different members of the 'body' in question between Rev 11 / 12 / 13 Now I need to straighten that out in my own mind; as I've always kinda ignored the 'temple' vs 'sanctuary' vs 'courtyard' study.
You know me, I don't want to be right, I want to know the actual truth... It's always been my understanding the truth lies in the chronology, if you know what event comes before or after another, the identity of the events within fall in place.
To me it seems locigal that the 3,5 years in Revelation 11, 12, 13 speak about the same time period. There are many who talk about a final 7 year tribulation. But I don't find any real support for that. But we should be able to find out when the 3,5 year period begins, at least recognize at the time when it begins.
