Hi,
Although this is not necessarily career related, I wanted to offer an answer for you.
I will be honest, I do not understand this concept either but (and please do not take this the wrong way), when I am in doubt about something I find that the Dummies book series helps me to understand things on a positive way (www.dummies.com). I also like using Wikipedia, ehow and just doing a basic google or bing search to see what I can find.
Here is a link to a cheat sheet on revelation for dummies (which is a book in the series):
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/book-of-revelation-for-dummies-cheat-sheet.html
Basic Structure of the Book of Revelation
Reading the Book of Revelation can be challenging — the storyline twists and turns and isn't strictly chronological. The author of the Book of Revelation, Saint John the Divine, offers a transcription of seven letters and later describes strange beasts, visions of judgments, governments, demonic battles, heaven, and a new world order — a prophetic vision for the end of the world.


I hope this helps...good luck!

Hi Zach,


You might want to look into BSF (Bible Study Fellowship), it's Interdenominational organization and the mean purpose is to study the meaning behind the Bible. From what I heard, they will be teaching Revelations this year. Here's more info: https://www.bsfinternational.org/Revelation and https://www.bsfinternational.org/about. Good luck!

Claude’s Answer

Excellent query!

Begin by offering a prayer for the specific understanding you seek. Request God to unlock your heart and reveal His divine teachings to you.

There's an abundance of books and reference guides about Revelation at your disposal.

To gain deeper insight, engage in conversations with ministry leaders as mentioned in the Bible: apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers.

Remember, the internet is a vast reservoir of knowledge on Revelation.

Simeon’s Answer

I would highly recommend the Bible Project's video on this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nvVVcYD-0w . This book has been mired in a lot of conspiracy theories, but it's always important to remember that the book needed to make sense to its original audience. You will find that there was a well- established genre of apocalyptic literature from the time that used repeating numbers and imagery to make its point. The broad theme is to encourage the believers to endure in the face of adversity and that their patient suffering will not go unnoticed.
