Hello Rosanna, The best, most concise summary comes from the book itself- Rev. 1:1, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John," (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

Hello Rosanna, The Book of Revelation is not only the only Book to come with a built in Blessing for us (vs 3), but it also comes with it's own divinely inspired outline. In 1:19, John is told, "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter" Rev 1:19 Meaning, things thou hast seen, (past, chapter 1)things which are,(present, chapter 2 and 3)and things which shall be, (future, chapters 4 thru 22) There is much symbolism in the Book, but these are symbols of actual events. We must be careful about commentators who use the symbolism too freely. Such as "the seven spirits who are before His throne" There are way too many interpretations of the 'seven spirits' for them all to be true. I have learned the key for this symbol is found in Isaiah 11:2, where the seven spirits are listed: the spirit of the LORD the spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD Same for the woman in chap 12, who is "clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars" The identity of the woman is partially explained in Joseph's second dream, (Gen 37:9) See how both of these verses are interpreted elsewhere in Scripture. (For at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. Deu 19:15) The Book of Revelation is not to be taken lightly, if you want to receive the blessing that is promised. You must not only exercise discretion, but also diligence. The key to understanding the Book of Revelation is simply to understand the rest of the Bible. |
