Bible Question: Can someone give me some guiding principles in understanding the Revelation, for I find it very hard to understand? Thanks. |
Bible Answer: Great answers, Ed and following! A lot of what you get out of the Bible is based on presuppositions. That's particularly true of unfulfilled prophecy. So you might want to become familiar with some of the various positions that have been taught. There can be a wide spectrum of opinion! I can think of several positions that are commonly held and are more than adequately represented by members in this forum. All of these positions have strengths and weaknesses, but I've never seen one that convinces me 100 percent... but that may just be me! One thing that is really marvelous about Revelations, though, is that it blesses just by digging into it! Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. |
