Welcome to FIXED ON JESUS, a podcast brought to you by Center Church in Gilbert, Arizona. Speaking to you today are Rich Richardson & Mark Johnson Jr. Production by Heather Corbitt This is a part of a "How To Read" series. Today we are talking specifically about How To Read the Book of Revelation. **SHOW NOTES** A few points to consider: Genre: Apocalyptical Literature There are examples of Apocalyptical Literature written both before and after Revelation Not to be taken literally No direct quotes from the Old Testament Referenced, or looks back to OT but no direct quotes All Apocalyptical Literature has an angelic being communicating to the author Questions asked in this episode: How do we interpret Revelation? There are various ways to interpret, what are some differences? What about the rapture, what is it and what does it mean? Are there people who believe it's already happened? Is there ever a scenario where the antichrist comes and pretends to be Jesus? What about the mark of the beast? Is it physical? Scripture References: Revelation 1:14 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 Revelation 4:1 Ezekiel 9:4 Please feel free to send email inquiries to [email protected]
