Revelation (1-End)

I can assure you that the revelation is probably one of the craziest texts I have ever read. Anyone can easily say that John was drugged or delirious when this “vision” came to him. Every sentence had more than one symbolic meaning, making it rather hard to keep track of them. One figure that kept coming up was the usage of the number seven. For example, the seven trumpets, the dragon’s seven heads, the seventh bowl, and probably more that I can’t remember. The only other biblical reference I can make to this is the seventh day of creation when God decides to rest, but it’s still not a logic relation.

I feel that the entire discussion was really coming down to one point, Judgment Day. The day when God opens the gates of heaven on earth, choosing the people who deserve to be in it. Satan is also mentioned a couple of times, but he is continuously defeated by heaven’s “army”, showing the victory of good over evil. It’s kind of scary to see how John describes the sate of the earth during the revelation. Who knows if in the end of human kind, our race will be as messed as the text says. Many experts have found ways to connect biblical predictions with our world today.
