Yes, I would argue that’s how we should view them. Revelation was written to a specific group at a specific time. John wasn’t warning the saints in 95 AD about a vaccine in 2020. Doesn’t mean the book doesn’t have lessons for us, but I’m hard pressed to think that when the USA experiences minor instability that it means the end times are now.
Witness Lee thinks that America is the last great empire that will usher in the end of the age. Lots of Christians in the recovery view that as the case, but it’s just not supported by verses and leads to idolatry. It’s not just limited to the LR, it’s a problem in the American church.
I hope this wasn’t snarky, I’m genuinely presenting an alternative view point to the idea that because America is struggling, it’s the end of the world.
