The Bible says "There was silence in heaven for a half hour" and hten persecution began.

The Bible says "A day is a thousand years to god"

1000 divided by 48 is about 20.

20+34 (time of Jesus death) is 54.

In AD 54, Nero came to power, who was the first persecutor of Christians.

Therefore, Revelation was at least partially talking about Rome. There are other prophesies I haven't decoded yet.

ATHEISTS SUCK! THEY MAKE LIFE BORING AND MEANINGLESS!

Where the 48 number came from?

That actually sounds like just one more interpretation of the Bible, and this one to make it fit with Nero time. However, I believe most likely the book was about the Roman Empire, because of the opression and persecusion these people were suffering from them at the time.

There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore there are 48 half hours in a day.

1. 1000 years in a day
2. 24 hours in a day
3. Bible says a half hour
4. 48 half hours in a day
5. 1000/48=about 20
6. 20 years after Jesus' death in AD 54, Nero came to power, who was the first great persecutor

What are you talking about? There isn't a single reference to two days. divided by 48 means its a half hour, ikf thats what you mean.

1,000 years divided by 48 half hours = 20 years plus 34 A.D. = 54 A.D.

Actually that seems very flawed considering the calendar system we use now for the year Jesus was born and died didn't exist at the time the book was written, I think it wasn't until the 4th century in which the christian era numbering began.

...no. BC refers to Before Christ, while AD refers to the Year of Our Lord. It was precisely calculated to coincide with the birth of Christ, 500 years later, and it was on 0 ad that Romans recorded Chrestus's death.

That's what I mean, it was about 4 centuries later when it was calculated therefore the new numbering system began then, how the book of Revelation would have that coded somehow if that calendar system didn't exist when it was written? Besides that, it is a roman system, clearly nothing to do with early christianity then.

Wow. Are you serious? This is a miracle that people don't understand.

Regardless of what dating system one uses, the number of years after Christ's death are still the same. And the number of years after Christ's death when Nero came to power are still the same.

Fair enough, it doesn't have a scientific value though.

Yeah and anything non-scientific is worthless. What an empty way to live. GIVE ME A BREAK!

Saying something has no scientific value does not say that unscientific things are worthless. That's a totally irrational judgment.
