Key Word - LOVE

Bible prophecy, and the Book of Revelation, is not "God's Wrath"! It's simply prophecy. But it's prophecy from the ultimate source! And though I do not think the book's fulfillment is imminent, I do think it's very interesting and could be a handy thing to pass on to our children and grand children.

"God is LOVE" - 1 John 4:8.

"...we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men --" 1 Timothy 4:10. He made the sun to rise and the birds to sing.. Bible prophecy is the story of what man does. But it's told in bold and colorful images and in rich language. You can hear a symphony as you read it.. Well, not really, but I got caught up in the moment! And you almost can! The symbols of Revelation are like music notes of an orchestra, and once a note begins it continues to the 'end'. [In this way, things which occur very late, are told here at the beginning!]

I believe there's at least two keys needed for understanding the Book of Revelation. The first is in chapter six, where the prophecy begins, the "seals" are described as a blend of what they are at their beginning, and what they are fully grown and progressed.

The second key is to realize chapters twelve and thirteen are inserts. They are each a complete story and history on their own.
