"Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don't know." (Jeremiah 33:3 WEB)
The Lord gave us the Book of Revelation, a book of signs and mysteries. Let us ask Him for understanding, for surely He desires that the book bear fruit in the lives of His people. Raindrops of revelation will fall upon us, accumulating into ever deeper pools of understanding or perhaps our imagination. Yet in all this we marvel at the wondrous design of the book.
Is there a literary progression in the letters to the seven churches? Have the seals anything to do with the Great Persecution at the time of Diocletian? How long is the Day of the Lord? Is there a real animal with ten horns? Is the beast from the land the same as Babylon the Great? Will the vertical dimension of the New Jerusalem be mostly underground?
May we wait more eagerly for the coming of our Lord.
