Revelation

of the kingdom; interpreting Revelation 6-16” by Laurie Guy, a lecturer at Carey Baptist College, property of Paternoster Periodicals highlights: the baffling and contentious nature of the material, considering purpose, considering structure, considering the interpositions and their place in interpretation, considering the content of the B material, the great revelation: the kingdom of God has come, understanding the doom-and-gloom material and abstractness of revelation. The key words also…

The book of Revelation has described by some as hard to understand. However, with careful study it is found that the Bible answers many of the symbols one can find confusing in this book. In chapter one, the Apostle John describes a vision in which he saw seven candlesticks with someone walking among them. What do these candlesticks represent, who is the one walking among them, and what is the significance? In Revelation 1:11, John is instructed to write in a book and send it to seven…

the earth in the days of judgment, sounds like something you would hear in the trailer of an apocalyptic thriller.

John, an elderly man, receives a vision of this revelation from an angel and was instructed to write what he had seen. The book encourages Christians to prepare for the return of the savior Jesus…

I note there are visions in several of the apocalyptic literature that are in the book of Revelation such as 1.…

The Jewish number of perfection, twelve, also the number of tribes of Israel in the Old Testament, is used in abundance in Revelation. In God’s throne room (4:4), John places twenty-four thrones for twenty-four elders, including the twelve disciples and twelve to represent the tribes of Israel. Even the 144,000 male virgins (7:4-8) stem from the number twelve, twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The woman clothed with the sun (12:1) wears a crown of twelve stars to…

The four horsemen of Revelation chapter six bring with them the great judgements of God as prophesied. Each of these horsemen represent a specific type and severity of judgment. The Scripture reveals what each horseman represents and what the world can expect at their arrival, Revelation 6:1-8 says: And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him…

of a world without revelation. This idea is like we received a lot of pieces to assemble them without instructions, where we do not know how to putting together if we're putting in the correct way, and what is the purpose of what we’re building. Without a revelation we can only guess what the unknown gods wanted, is simply doing things blindly hoping it work ... It is a life without meaning, aimless and purposeless. If the main focus of this essay is based on the word revelation, then what it…

Both, of these writings are unique in their own way, they also have many differences and similarities.

In “Revelation” the main character is…

Revelation Chapter 20 Verse 1: Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain over his hand. The chain represents the extended chain countdown that Burrinn and Ralph were doing.
