A Biblical Study of Revelation. How should Revelation be read? How should it be interpreted? How did the early church interpret Revelation, and have we deviated from that? |

What about the imagery of Revelation? Will we see a literal 7 year tribulation? Will we see locusts overtaking the earth or a monster with 10 heads? Come, lets discuss the book of Revelation!

Well it has been said that the 2 books in the Bible that Satan hates the most are the books of Genesis and Revelation. Genesis, because it tells us where Satan comes from, and Revelation, because it tells us where Satan is going!

Most Christians are afraid of the book of Revelation. Mostly because of the imagery we see in the book - locusts with faces like man and tails like scorpions, a beast coming out of the sea, 6 winged creatures with eyes at the front and back of their heads, a dragon with 10 heads and 7 horns.

The main reason Christians are afraid of reading Revelation is because the book seems too hard to understand. But being afraid of Revelation and not reading it means sealing it up - which is being disobedient to Gods commandment in Revelation 22:10

We are commanded not to seal it up. We are to read the book, study it and preach it. We are not to ignore it or be afraid of it.

Most Christians allow authors and preachers and TV evangelists to tell us what Revelations means. But there are so many different interpretations of Revelation.

Some say that the reestablishment of Israel as a nation in 1948 is predicted in Revelation
