The Beast Revelation

No. I'm not wrong. It is clear from the context that Jesus was speaking of future events. When these events happen, the end is very near. The generation that witnesses these events will see the coming of Christ.
I already have. Several times...along with every other Scripture relating to the end times. Anyway, you're off topic, so I'm going to ignore you.
Revelation was written for 7 churches in the first century. Jesus says nothing about the future. Remember, by then the temple had been destroyed, the Christians had fled to Pella and the tribulation was over.

1Thessalonians 4:16-17
PostmodernProphet
fully immersed in faith..
do you by any chance recall him saying anything about you know, maybe coming back some day?......
Thessalonians was written about 52 ad by Paul when he was in Athens... Long before Paul's death and the destruction of the temple.

Are you claiming that already happened?
Revelation has NOTHING to do with modern day Palestine or HAMAS.
It is common to think of prophecy as predictions, but to an Israelite mind prophecy is primarily a proclamation of previously known truth, a call to return and not to forget the important matters. Thus, the Book of Revelation can be called an apocalyptic letter containing prophecy, combining at least three genres in one document (apocalyptic, epistolary and prophetic).

It wasn’t a foretelling, a prediction, it was a forthtelling, the act of making something public, publishing, or declaring the word of God. The writer is talking current conditions, not making a prediction.
It makes sense if you read it in its proper context.
Christian films often portray that all those who have not received the mark of the beast will be killed, this is a symbolic truth. The circumstances are true, but they missed the real meaning due to some failed interpretations. All those who have not taken the mark are killed, this part is true, but those who have not taken the mark are Hamas. The mark was given during the elections for the president of the Palestinian authority, which was boycotted by Hamas. Hamas has never received the mark. Films like to portray all people as subject to the mark. This part is wrong. It only affects those Palestinians who did not take the mark, and not the whole world. It is only Hamas. This makes the mark as what the letter indicates. It was the indelible ink brand given to those who voted in the Palestinian elections.

There is no such thing as "Pauline" Christianity there is just christianity. You worshipers of Paul are something else.
