What chapter of Revelation is the world in at the moment?

Answer 1

Answer This is dependent upon the state of the church as a whole. The 1st chapter of Revelation is introductory about the vision John received on the Isle of Patmos. The second and third chapters are about messages addressed both to certain specific churches that were actually in existence at that time, and also to specific Church eras. These are as follows:- -Church at Ephesus (Rev 2:1-7) (The loveless church, represented by the Apostolic era of church history from the day of Pentecost to 100AD) -Church at Smyrna (Rev.2:8-11) ((The persecuted church; the martyrdom era of church history 100-312AD) -Church at Pergamos (Rev. 2:12-17) ((The compromising church; the married-to-the-world era of church history 312-1000AD) -Church at Thyratira (Rev.2:18- 27) (The corrupt church; the pre-Reformation church age 1000-1517) -Church at Sardis (Rev 3:1-6) (The dead church; the Reformation church age 1517-1750) -Church at Philadelphia (Rev. 3:7-13) (The faithful church; the Missionary church age 1750-early 1900's) -Church at Laodicea (Rev. 3:14-22) (The lukewarm church; the church of the Apostasy, or falling away of believers: period early 1900's-present). NB These ages and states are NOT rigidly 'set in stone' and do NOT automatically apply to ALL churches and/or denominations. All individual churches (not just denominations) are a unique combination of ALL of the traits of all seven churches but in differing proportions, even if they don't like to admit it.

Most churches like to think of themselves as a Philadelphian-type of church, even if their works show they are not. For example, there are some which are well and truly dead and don't know it, and there are some that are doing well. However, there is also an increasing percentage which fit the Laodicean era-church category quite well. Gods' priority is firstly His born-again church of converted believers (not necessarily a particular denomination) , and only then other things as far as they relate to the church. Since the church is not mentioned in Revelation after Chapter 3, this means it cannot be Chapter 4 onwards but must be somewhere in chapter 3. Because of the world's obsession with Materialism, this means the world is most probably at Revelation 3 verse 17:- Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

The Book of Revelation is a biblical text that is open to interpretation, and different people may have varying views on which chapter the world is currently in. Some individuals believe that we are in a time that aligns with the signs foretold in various chapters of Revelation, while others do not think it is possible to pinpoint a specific chapter in relation to current events.
