---Why so many symbols and animals in the book of Revelation?

---Clarence A. Forbes present the answer. The article was written in 1936. See page 120.

---Christ knew that Antiochus Epiphanes hated the book of the Jews on prophecy and ordered in 168 BC that they should be burned. Greek empire will pass by? Never. In his thinking. (mentioned in Forbes 1936: 118 at the bottom).

---So the practice of bookburning, of religion, of books of Jews, of prophecy had a longer history. Every empire and every emperor had their own policies.

---So knowing this possibility for complaining about the fall of Rome, Christ used animals also mentioned in the Old Testament as labels for powers good and bad in a cosmic struggle that includes world empires that were used as game-pieces by Satan, the dragon (Leviathan, snake, etc. of the Old Testament).

---Christ is the Lamb of Isaiah 53. Right?

---The Lion of Judah is the Warrior Messiah for the Hell event concluding the funeral of Satan. The final absolute cremation of Satan.

---In 303 Diocletian made an Edict to burn all holy books including the Bible. Christians were persecuted.

---Our Bible are bound but in those days every book was in scrolls or rolls or rolled up lamb-skins.

---So if the Book of Revelation is full of things the Romans cannot understand, then they cannot burn it. Right?

---It was the Holy Spirit’s clever way of preserving the Book of Revelation. Nice.

---But we need to have the right key of connections for the Book of Revelation.

---Is there a structure in the prophecies? Yes. Thought structures connected to historical times and eras. Historical events and also future events.

---Is the Roman empire then going to come to an end in this book or not? Roman soldiers could not see it because there are too many animals that die: dragon, beast, lamb. Cannot make sense.

---Blessed is he who reads and understands what the Spirit is saying to the church. Says Christ.

---Romans read but could not understand so they could not be blessed by the book.

---How about you?

---Can you read the book and understand it?

---Adventists do. The right Adventists. There are right readings and wrong attitude wrong readings also. Do not follow the last type.

---Ask pastors to give you the correct reading of the Book Revelation in Adventism. It is the official position.

---Recent writings on Revelation are confused because the authors have spent too must time with preterists of Calvinism or Methodism or Lutheranism or agnostic or atheistic presentations talking about “myths”.

---Walk away from their lectures and find a proper one. It must be a historicist interpretation with the seven eras of the church from ancient times until our recent day. Anything else, put down the book, click away from the article, walk away from the lecture and take your Bible with you to a proper Guide. There are very good Guides.

---Ever heard of DARCOM? Maybe a good start.
