Why is Revelation about "our" immediate future?

[Faithofchristian]

And who IYO is this group of people?



Can you?

Sure I can, seeing how God has already given the interpretation of the book of Revelation.

Revelation 8:1 there was silence in heaven for half an hour"

It's not hard to figure out why there's silence in heaven for half an hour.
Seeing something happened in heaven that when it happened caused silence to be in heaven.

I've heard predictions since the 80s about the prophecies in Revelation coming to pass in the next couple of decades or so. I imagine since the Bible was first published and mass distributed that the public has always thought that the prophecies would come to pass in their immediate futures as well. I'm wondering, amongst those who believe that most of the prophecies in the Book of Revelation are yet to be fulfilled, why do they, or you, believe they were written about your near future? Even if most of the prophecies are yet to be fulfilled, why would they not be fulfilled 300 years from now? Why do we think it's about "us"? Why would the signs of the end times be any different now than they would be in the year 2250?

Thank you.

As with many things, you don't know when it will happen no..

but does it hurt to be prepared for tomorrow? better to always assume it to be in the distant future??
