Of course the Baha'i point of view of The Revelation is preterist,
otherwise, the entire BF collapses.
However, as I always ask of preterists, when was it that Rev 8:8-9 was
fulfilled?
Rev 8:8 =B6 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great
mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part
of the sea became blood;
Rev 8:9 =B6 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea,
and had life, died; and the third part of the ****ps were destroyed.
This fits the description of a meteor impact, assuredly something of a
massively catastrophic nature. Or, one could interpret it to death,
allowing the passage to mean anything, and therefore, to mean nothing.
Likewise, most of The Revelation is thematically about worldwide
cataclysm, natural disasters on a scale unprecedented in recorded
history, even counting such catastrophes as that which ended the
Minoan civilization.
Finally, the Revelation is about closure, culmination, finality. It
is about the ushering in not merely of a new era, but of an eternal
era, one in which every tear is wiped away, where there is no more
suffering, neither death.
We appear to be on the brink of that era. But first there must come
the satanic world empire, its self-destruction, and the rescue of
humanity by Jesus.
The History Channel completely ignores these over-arching themes of
The Revelation.
