Does Revelation foretell today's current events?

Here is Bible Verse #4 of 4:

"And he (the angel) said to me (John) , 'Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.'" Rev 22:10

John said that the time was near when he wrote Revelation (96 AD)

The fulfillment of the prophecies was not near, but were 2000 years later.

Review:

Daniel Vs. John "seal up"

Daniel 8:26 "And the vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true; But keep the vision secret, For it pertains to many days in the future."

Daniel 12:4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time"

What is reasonable?

If Daniel was told seal up the prophecy for only a 600 year period

John was told not to seal up the book equals a period of more then 1900 years?

Daniel said in 600 BC

John said in 96 AD

Seal up the prophecy

do not seal up prophecy

Jesus fulfilled 600 years later

Still not fulfilled 1900 years later?

This interpretation is not reasonable

Question:

The Bible says: "And he (the angel) said to me (John) , 'Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.'" Rev 22:10

What did John mean when he said "do not seal up for the time is near"

John meant that the time for fulfillment was near when he wrote Revelation (96A AD)

The prophecies were in fact sealed for 2000 years!

Let me review the last section on Daniel vs. John again
