Sinopsis

Revelation was initially written to a people who understood a logic which presented information in a back and forth, turn around manner. We might call the circular logic. Time lines jump back and forth. Subjects change without being announced. Imagery is common. If you don’t think so, do a serious study of the prophets of the Bible. Then comes Western thinking where everything is linear. 1 is followed by 2 and so forth. Everything is to be outlined and cataloged. Our problem with Revelation is that we have tried to interpret 2000 year old Eastern thought with a Western perspective. Most of what Westerners get is confusion. This is what I have seen as Westerners preach on Revelation. I used to avoid the book of Revelation like the plague. When I heard various people expound it, my spirit kept saying “No. No. No.” Then I found myself being drawn into the book. At first I tried the charts and the usual stratagems to no avail. Then I gave up and just read the book for what it says. Very, very slowly the book began to unfold. After spending thousands of hours with God and the book of Revelation, my hope is that I have found insights which unravel most of the text in a way that is understandable in today’s Western culture. Please give me credit for one thing. While most of the book can be understood, I found that many future events were beyond my comprehension. When this happened, I had the sense to stop speculating and tell you so rather than charge on into speculation and call it truth. even with that, 80% of the book is now understandable. You can stick with your Western mind set or perhaps you can take a chance on looking at Revelation through different eyes. I think you will be amazed. As a side note, I have presented this book to two people who have their PHDs in theology. They both had the same response. What they said was ,essentially, that while everything I said made sense, they would have to discard everything they had ever learned in order to understand what I was saying. Let me interpret this for you. This book is not the same old same old, and get ready for a challenge if you choose to read it.I wish you well, ROHO

The presentations I have seen on Revelation have bothered me for years. If I have taken the time to study Revelation, a book I have always avoided, I must have been very distressed. Let me show you a couple of the things that I have found. If you look at the seven headed beast in Revelation 13, you will find that this beast is described by three other beasts which are found in the book of Daniel, chapter 7. These beasts are the lion, the bear, and the leopard. The fourth beast in Daniel 7 is conspicuous by its absence. The terrible beast which is a representation of Rome is missing. Many people are saying that the end times will produce a one world government which is a revived Roman Empire. Hmm. Does this mean that, if the terrible beast is missing from the seven headed beast that the seven headed beast will have nothing to do with the revived Roman Empire? No matter what your conclusion, This needs to be carefully inspected. Next, in Rev 5:19, it is stated that 1/3 of mankind will be killed when the 6th trumpet is sounded. The word anthropos is used to indicate who will die. The dead will be “man faced”, or, human beings. When the four horsemen reign in the 1st four seals, Rev 6:8 says “And power was given to them over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, etc.”. The problem is that, so far, everyone I have heard speak on this section says that ¼ of mankind will be killed at this point. That doesn’t seem to fit the text. These horsemen will have the power to kill over ¼ of the earth’s soil (“ge” in the Greek). I’m sure people will die at this time, but having the power to kill is not necessarily to kill, and why kill soil? Some Revelation studies amount to little more than a rehashing of other studies. Other studies go into minute details and miss the overall picture. Not so with this book. It takes a new look at Revelation which gives an overview of Revelation and applies it to modern times. Furthermore, many people know more about what the other books of the Bible say about Revelation than they know about the book of Revelation itself. This is almost peculiar. This book will show you what Revelation says about its self. The methods used to study Revelation in this book are simple. First, look primarily at the text of Revelation. Next, stick to the more obvious meanings and skip the obscure. When I started this study, it was like I was holding a blank piece of paper in my hand and I wasn't sure what was going to fill the page when I was done. To my surprise, I have found a cohesive and straightforward understanding of Revelation which has gone far beyond my wildest dreams. Clearly identified are: The seven headed beast, The seven heads, The eighth head, The two horned lamb, The time of the ten horned rule, Many time sequences, And much more.
