You could go with that, but no.

I was speculating that the decimal point might have been implied. Thanks for the explanation.
A preterist view would mean John wrote the Revelation prior to 70AD. There are a couple of additional markers like the abrupt ending of Acts with no mention of the destruction of the temple. An interesting comparison is with Josephus who mentions seeing armies coming in the clouds at the destruction of the temple.
He is not my god, nor has ever asked me to worship him. He's my president. He was the man who stood up for the interests of his people the same way George Washington stood up for the rights of his people. The problem with too many individuals and big personalities on the right is that they demand a president who agrees with them on everything. The ridiculous in fighting that exists loses sight of the big picture and the catastrophic consequences and captivity that will result if the Democrats get get ahold of power once more. Our paycheck and our property will be redistributed to illegal immigrants and welfare queens. Our 1st and 2nd amendments will be gone. We'll be cast out at best or taken captive like a conquered people who no longer have the means to resist those who now hold them captive. But even imperfect, Trump understands loyalty amongst his brethren. Whether you be a goofy looking white farm boy living paycheck to paycheck, an enlisted man just trying to feed and provide health insurance for his young family, or even when he returns home missing a leg, loyalty does not only go one way with Donald Trump. This is what the left does not understand. They can't understand why they can't separate Donald Trump from his base. Why do these lowly people of modest means support him. Because that same loyalty we give him, he gives back to us. We don't ask him to give up his family wealth. We asked him to enforce the border. He did it, when no other Republican ever would give anything more than false promises and double talk. We asked him to root out the fraud, waste, and abuse. And he has allowed us to expose it. We've DOGED much of it. As much as I hate social security, I'm not going to breakup the coalition over it. Even if all Trump did were to enforce the border he'd have had my loyalty forever. But that's not all. We've put liberal Europe on notice that we're not their mercenaries nor their free military defense service anymore. Either contribute and pull your weight or NATO is over. If we have to spend our blood and taxpayers dollars to rid ourselves of the Ayatollahs, then there is nothing morally wrong with taking the oil to pay for it. If we have to spend our blood and treasure to get Putin out of Ukraine, you better believe we're going to expect payment in the form of rare earth metals and the winners share of the business. Ben Shapiro didn't like the trade war. He didn't even like Trump the first time around. But he never lost sight of the big picture and in return he's gotten the best foreign policy ever as Christians and Jews come together to obliterate the Ayatollahs and radical Islamic terrorists.Gunnar wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2026 8:12 amWell, at least Ajax grudgingly admits that even his idol, Trump, may not be perfect, but even that admission would be enough to incur Trump's ire and dismissal of any in his administration who openly expressed it.Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2026 10:58 pmChortle.......that's what I suspected.

Loyalty only goes one way with Trump. You are useful to him only so far as your vote and your money can serve him. Otherwise you and your wants are to be disposed of as soon as convenient, as just seen with his h-2b reversal.ajax18 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2026 12:15 pmHe is not my god, nor has ever asked me to worship him.

Dismissal? Trump has brought in more black and hispanic votes than any RINO before him, all the while remaining true to people like me. This is what is unprecedented. It testifies to the truth of the America First message. It testifies that in spite of societal moral decay, there is still a majority of honest people of all races and socioeconomic status with enough integrity and loyalty to come together as Americans and reestablish the Constitution and become one nation under God once more.

Has this man no respect for Holy Scripture?Hegseth said the prayer, “CSAR 25:17,” which stands for “Combat Search and Rescue,” is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17. He then urged his audience to pray with him.
“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil man. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherds the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Amen,” Hegseth said.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a prayer at the Pentagon on Wednesday that resembled a fictional prayer Samuel L. Jackson’s character delivers in the movie Pulp Fiction (Miramax)
The actual Ezekiel 25:17 reads: “And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.”
Instead of the scripture Hegseth mentioned, his prayer appears to mirror the fictional Ezekiel 25:17 that Samuel L Jackson’s character, Jules Winnfield, delivered before killing a character in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.
“There’s a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17,” Jackson’s character said. “The path of righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”
Yes, he is. We prefer a man who is truthful, has integrity, and cares about the American issues facing us, not wars with Israel in charge. Trump administration has just yet again recently given more tax cuts to the billionaires, of which, certainly you got no benefit from since it means you are helping pay them.AJAX said- He is not my god, nor has ever asked me to worship him.

I have no different desire to covet another man's earnings, nor do I desire to punish people for working overtime, working past retirement age and being i industrious.Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2026 12:20 amYes, he is.
