---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). Source: https://www.tertullian.org/articles/forbes_books_for_the_burning.htm ---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.
