Opis

Revelation was initially written to a people who understood a logic which presented information in a back and forth, turn around kind of manner. Time lines blend into each other seamlessly. Subjects change without being announced. If you don't think so, do a serious study of the prophets of the Bible. Then comes Western thinking where everything is linear. 1 is followed by 2 and so forth. Everything is to be outlined and cataloged. Our problem with Revelation is that we have tried to interpret 2000 year old Eastern thought with a Western perspective. Many people sense the confusion abandon the book. Most of what we get is confusion. This is what I have seen as Westerners preach on Revelation. I used to avoid the book of Revelation like the plague. When I heard various people expound it, my spirit kept saying "No. No. No." Then God drew me into the book. I tried the charts and the usual stratagems to no avail. Then I gave up and just read the book for what it says. Very, very slowly the book began to unfold. After spending many hours with God and the book of Revelation, my hope is that I have found insights which explain much of the text in a way that is relevant to today's culture. While most of the book can be understood, other parts are future events which must be left to speculation. You can stick with your Western mind set or perhaps you can take a chance on looking at Revelation through different eyes. I think you will be amazed. I wish you well, ROHO
