Revelation Answer to Question #24

 

24.  What do the earthquakes mentioned in Revelation mean?

"Earthquake" is mentioned seven times in the Book of Revelation.

Just as we are not talking about a literal city Babylon being destroyed (Revelation 16:18) or a literal "great city" which is "spiritually [figuratively, Strong's #4153] called Sodom and Egypt" (Revelation 11:13,19)—similarly the "earthquake" that destroys false Christendom is not literal.

An earthquake is an upheaval from beneath the earth. "Earth" represents organized society. An upheaval from underneath stable society would be a revolution of the people. False Christendom's destruction will come from withinunderneath.
