If you don’t know, revelations is the last book of the Bible. It prophesies of what’s to come in the end times. I believe everything happening right now is biblical
I’m not saying it’s the end times, God says we will not know the day nor the hour so do not fear!
Here’s the gospel if you haven’t heard it:
Imagine you committing a crime against the most loving, joyful friend you could ever have who’s done nothing but give you second chance after second chance. You get convicted and sentenced to death, that same friend takes your death penalty that you deserved & puts it on themselves just because they love you so much. That is love. That friend is Jesus.
We all sin & fall short of the glory of God every single day. Our sins need to be dealt with and accounted for when we die one day. We don’t even have to think about that because before we ever loved him, he loved us. He had a plan from the moment he created earth. He knew we’d sin, he knew that giving us free will would cause us to sin against him. However, he is a holy God. We can’t have complete communion with him if this sin isn’t accounted for. He sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in place of you & your sins. Out of love. He died and rose again on the third day so you may be blameless in the eyes of the Lord.
All we must do is believe Jesus was the son of God, he died for our sins and defeated death & rose on the third day

I think about this often…
Throughout Matthew when his disciples asked on what to look for he gave a list of things to come even though only The Father knew the day and hour but most importantly, Jesus in his own words talking to his disciples said (paraphrasing) that THIS generation (the people in front of him listening) shall not pass (die) until all these things are fulfilled. Destruction of temple, tribulations, false prophets/messiah etc.
Jesus wasn’t talking about future generations and what they’d see, he was talking to that SPECIFIC generation. Jesus also said when he’d return every eye would see him even those that pierced him. The Romans who put him on the cross would see him return. Simply put if you just take Jesus at his word he has already returned. Not too long after the temple fell in 70 A.D. where in fact not one stone was left on top of another.
Its Revelation. Not Revelations.
I remember people have said revelations fits what’s going on in current times for the past 40 years, at least.

*This* time you’ve got it right though, haven’t you?
I’d argue blind faith to the trinity is a distortion to the actual worship of God. No omniscient being who created us in his image would ever create the law that we must worship him; it’s non sensical for that to be the case.
I believe the worship of God is all the little things we do, the smile you give, the help you offer and the people you affect. Being a good, honest person doesn’t require any external validation from metaphysical beings. You know what’s right and wrong without that and nobody needs a book to tell them when they’ve been naughty… God is in all of us, no need to look elsewhere. We have the ability to do anything through love
