What is your view of the book of Revelation?

I do not apply any personal-carnal thought nor personal-carnal view, on what can only be spiritually discerned.

This is what I KNOW !

Revelation 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John,

>>>> All the false hyperbole from religions are meant to keep Faithful from KNOWING, that is to SEE and HEAR, in spiritual discernment and come closer towards God Spirit and coming out from among her harlots -religions.

Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues".

>>>> Those who follow this ‘calling’, are the TRUE Church of the ONE Living God.

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

The book of Revelation is a revealing of Jesus Christ to the world.

It is a warning to the world to get right with God to escape what shall happen on earth.

Which tells us of prophesy of people's condition being worse as time goes on.

Causing much chaos and destruction on earth.

Which they implement a system to try to bring peace on earth by coming together saying Peace and safety.

And implementing a system on a world wide scale based on the new age which interprets all religions the same that exalts people.

Because of these 2 factors wanting peace and their viewpoint of reality has changed they will implement a system that is in opposition to God.

Causing God to end sin on earth.

Which they stopped the preaching of the Gospel and the belief in a personal God and nothing can be taught contrary to the new age.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The new age movement that interprets the Bible and religions according to the occult and evolution, and people are going to evolve to be spiritual, and greater, and Jesus became an ascended master among others, and there is no personal God, but they honor the God of forces the power of the Cosmos, and the New Age Christ is the next world teacher.

The time will come that people will not want to hear the truth of the Bible but want to hear it according to the new age.

The New Age Christ will push the agenda of the new age trying to convince them that all religions are compatible.

Which will also pull in the atheists and non religious.

The wrath of God happens when He puts down all rule, power, and authority.

Chaos before that is the doing of people leading up to the beast kingdom.

Which they think they have the solution to have peace.

United Nations Agenda 21 for the 21st century which is a sustainability act.

They want to move all people in to the cities, and no development can happen outside city limits, and the people are the police force.

They want to give the people a microchip under the skin linked to satellite like a GPS tracking system for humans.

They can watch the people, and know their location, and if a crime happens they will know who was in the area, and how close they were to the crime scene.

This will cut out judges, lawyers, and the now known police force.

All information about the person will be on the chip including finances for it is the one world economic system.

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

chi xi stigma
khee xee stig'-ma
The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.

stigma
stig'-mah
From a primary word στίζω stizō (to “stick”, that is, prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), that is, (figuratively) scar of service: - mark.

The mark of the beast is something stuck under something and since it is given to a person it is stuck under their skin.

The New Age Christ's agenda is there is no personal God to help mankind but their technology can help them to deter crime, and have peace.

Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

WW1, set up League of Nations, did not turn to God.

WW2, set up United Nations, did not turn to God.

And that pattern will happen until the 6th trumpet.

Which they do not repent and turn to God.

But they keep going on exalting themselves and trying to establish peace by their own efforts.

So God gives them the antichrist to rule over them.

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Eze 39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

The book of Revelation is a revealing of Jesus Christ to the world.

Which the mystery of God should be finished as the heathen will know who God is who is Jesus with physical evidence.
 
The key to understanding Revelation, focus on Old Testament prophetic books like Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Zechariah, as they provide key imagery. Revelation deeply weaves these scriptures together, making Old Testament knowledge essential for grasping its symbolism.

I see Revelation as a letter to seven Jewish assemblies of kingdom gospel believers waiting for the return of Christ to set up his earthly kingdom. This expectations was based on the hope that the nation of Israel would recognize their Messiah and agree to the new covenant as they had to the old one.

That the nation did not receive her king resulted in a delay that continued the age of the gentiles until now. When the body of Christ is removed from the world, the events described in Revelation will pick up where they left off (Chapter four) and the time of Jacob's trouble will begin. At the end of this time of tribulation a faithful remnant will receive Jesus and his earthly kingdom will be established.

It doesn't work like that anymore. God doesn't save nations, he saves individuals because only individuals can have faith. God saved the nation of Israel out of the land of Egypt, but afterwards destroyed those who didn't believe. He's not going that route again.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. Isaiah 27:12
 
It's the final book of the bible for the same reason Genesis is the first. The beginning and the end. The Alpha and The Omega. It's that simple. Everything in the middle gives us guidance on how to avoid what is coming in the end. It all points to Christ our Lord and Savior. John said it best, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." That same John wrote the final book of the bible. God spoke powerful words through John and his writings. Take them to heart and believe or perish with the world.
 
My hackles go up when someone asks, "What is your view" and in the same post uses phrases like, "personal-carnal thought", "only spiritually discerned", and "all the false hyperbole".

It reeks of a self-righteous attitude, a closed mind, and a haughty spirit, not of humble and open curiosity.
 
Well more of a summary of the rest of the entire Gospel as the Spiritual Word of God a.k.a. "Life of the Lamb of God"- a Spiritual autobiography.

As many in ignorance describe the 'carnal-context' of the translations of the Bible as confusing, Revelation is the KEY notes in Spiritual discerning all of the Word of God in Spiritual Truth.

Isaiah 46:10
Declaring the end from the Beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’

witness...

2 Timothy 1:10
but has now been REVEALED by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ(in Spirit), who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

Genesis 1:1
In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

The focus being on the Spiritual nature of the Word and not on the vessels that carry that Gospel forth.

<<<---- When I see this, I find Comfort, Peace and Solace, from these dead secular-geriatric relics, in this Holy Scripture :

Matthew 7:6
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

witness...

Proverbs 26:11
As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

Proverbs 9:7-8
He who corrects a mocker brings shame on himself; he who rebukes a wicked man taints himself. / Do not rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

Proverbs 23:9
Do not speak to a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

2 Peter 2:22
Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”

John 12:48
There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

***Reason being the Spirit of Truth has NOT! and NEVER WILL!! be revealed to them.

You really should get the Adam Clarke and John Gill commentaries that put verses like this into an ancient context. That will hopefully spare you from thinking that obscure and hard to understand prophecies like this can only happen in the future. For example,

In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the region of the Egyptians; and there will be a monument at its border to the LORD. Isaiah 19:19
Josephus (c), and other Jewish writers (d), suppose this to be fulfilled when Onias, the son of Simeon the just, fled into Egypt, and obtained leave of Ptolemy king of Egypt, and Queen Cleopatra, to build a temple and an altar there, like those at Jerusalem, in order to draw the Jews thither, which was about six hundred years after this prophecy; and who did build both a temple and an altar in the nome of Heliopolis, about twenty three miles from the city of Memphis, and which continued three hundred and forty three years;​

Revelations are what is written, As God Father is still the only one good, as Jesus stated in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Now risen and One ??(Won) for us the people to be born again as new in Father's Spirit and truth too, thank you. John 4:23-24
Then in this Love and mercy given us, one does love with mercy to all, at least begins to learn to, from the first day anyone chooses to believe God as stated in Eph 1:13, comes to see verses 6-7 and is thankful. Then sees the reconciliation 2 Cor 5:17-22
God then becomes the teacher, not self or others as in 1 John 2:27 tells me and everyone else too, at least me, I accept this truth and resigned myself to see from Father's view Romans 12:2
God, I do not understand, yet you do and I trust you to reveal to me whatever I need to be revealed and if not yet, thank you, you know what is best
Jeremiah 29:11
