Revelation (which you call Apocalypse) is a prophecy that spans the time from the beginning of the great tribulation in 66 CE, to the return of Jesus sometime soon to start a 1000 year reign on Earth, to the new Heaven and new Earth that will last until the end of time.You seem to be quite confused yourself and according to both Moses and the Father, (as written in Deuteronomy 18:15-22), you moreover appear to be following a concocted and made up false version of a false Messiah whose words did not come to pass. Oh, wait, that is also according to Peter, (Acts 3:20-26 where he quotes from Deuteronomy 18:15-19 and applies it to the Master). Not only that but the Deuteronomy passage likewise applies to the Apocalypse and that author also himself plainly tells you that what he wrote was about to shortly come to pass. Only in the fantasy world of literalist historicist minded futurism is two thousand years a short time by any stretch of the machinations of the vain imagination of man. You subvert the Deuteronomy passage and many other plain scripture statements so that you may continue to hold on to your flesh-minded paradigm mindset which cannot see that the Word of Messiah is SPIRIT, just as he said, and forewarned you.
66 CE shortly came to pass after the vision was shown to John.
If your understanding of how to read the Bible is correct, then you have nothing more to look forward to but ceasing to exist when you die, since eternal "life" is just an allegory for the life you are living right now.If you cannot see the Spirit of the Testimony of Messiah then you cannot walk in his commandments, parables, proverbs, allegories, sayings, idioms, and teachings which his apostles and disciples wrote down for you in the Gospel accounts and the Apocalypse, which is none other than the very Revelation of the Meshiah. If therefore you have not walked it through then Meshiah is simply not yet revealed to you. As I said above, you are still in "the first age" of man, that is, the natural man. Perhaps when you have come to your end, and have died, perhaps in that day you will consider perfectly. But of course if you refuse to die: no new heavens and new earth for you! :chuckle:
