@@MrGordon, that response ignores your post... There is better to come. It will cleanse the earth of all wickedness.
(Psalm 37:10, 11) Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. 11 But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
--- Those words of David had a significance for the people of his day. Yes, scripture did apply to the people for whom it was written who lived at the time that it was written and was consequently of significance to them. That is the reason that Revelation was understood by people who lived under Roman persecution and written for them at the time that they were persecuted.
