Why is the Book of Revelation so misunderstood?Wasn&rsquo,t its whole point to give revelation? Well, in typically Jewishámanner, yes and no.The Book of Revelation was written as an apocalypse, a Jewisháliterary genre which also includes the extraordinary Books ofáDaniel and Zechariah. Profound truths were concealed fromáoutsiders and opponents using elaborate symbolism, to beáunderstood only by those properly taught &mdash, as Jesus explains ináMatthew 13:10-13.The apostle John&rsquo,s original first century audience, having beenáled by Jewish Christians, would have readily understood hisáimagery from Jewish history. His plagues echo the ten plagues ofáIsrael&rsquo,s exodus, his seven trumpets resonate of the Old Testamentábattle for Jericho.Many think the keys to unlocking the Book of Revelation are lost.Not so. We still have Old Testament history and, for those who knowáwhere to look, full explanations of its symbols in the New Testament.What we need is the humility to learn from the first century Jewishábelievers the mysteries of the woman, the Messiah, the dragon, theácomings of Elijah, and &lsquo,the times of the Gentiles&rsquo,. From these weácan understand God&rsquo,s continuing purpose for Israel.
