BenJasher said:The Book of Revelations will never be anything more than a source of confusion, conjecture, and endless, fruitless debate until you understand three things about that Book:
1) It is the revalation of Jesus Christ. (First 5 words of the book) Beyond all else, and before anything else, it is a revealing of the person of Jesus. That part has to be recognized first.
2) It has been "signified" (presented or given in symbols and figures). Check the second half of the first verse. Trying to interpret this book literally will produce nothing useful.
3) It is written to, for, and about Israel. By Israel, all twelve tribes are brought into context here, not just the Jews. Applying it to anyone else is an exercise in futility.

preterist said:Ignoring the time indicator can lead to any type of interpretation.(see Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, etc....)
Daniel 7 forecast a revived Roman Empire for this climax generation of all history
Hal Lindsey, Tim La Haye etc truthfully point that out
& the fact that, when Rev 9 prophesied 200 million oriental troops - ('the kings of the east' who attack Israel via a dried-up R Euphrates in Rev 16)- the whole world population was less than 200 million
But in 1961, Chairman Mao boasted that China could field 200 million militia 'at the drop of a hat'
Just time to say that verses 3-10 are the most amazing vision of modern military helicopters spraying biochems outa the back, so crew not affected: with the sun shining on 'em, you see the pilot's human face & the sun's glow looks like a lion's mane, the whirling chopper blades make a loud roar & can look like long hair blowing, etc
USA developed such a spray in the '70s - 'like a scorpion sting lasting 5 months' - normal scorpion stings don't last 5 months
