What are the 7 things we must consider when interpreting an Apocalypse? - Answer-(1)
OT apocalyptic passages provide the most helpful background to understanding
Revelation
(2) Revelation should be read from the perspective of the original audience.
(3) The symbolic images in Revelation must not be taken literally (or even semi-literally).
The symbols point to reality in an entirely figurative way
(4) Revelation is not meant to be read chronologically. It is most entirely cyclical rather
than linear
(5) the content of Revelation is delivered in the difficult cryptic language of dreams,
visions, numerology, and fantasy. This doesnt mean that it isn't God's word and that it
isn't true, it just means that it is a good apocalypse
(6) When John himself interprets his images, these interpreted images must be held
firmly and must serve as a starting point for understanding the others
(7) Symbols are symbols, not allegories. Don't over-press the details
How many visions are in Revelation and what are they of? - Answer-4 visions:
1 = Christ appears and instructs God

the Spirit"

that was written to encourage Christians to endure hardship and to grow in their
faithfulness to Jesus.
