John makes it clear that the Book of Revelation is both an “apocalypse” (revelation) and a “prophecy.” This type of Jewish literature recounted a prophet’s symbolic visions that revealed God’s heavenly perspective on history, so that the present could be viewed in light of history’s final outcome. It was meant to comfort and/or challenge God’s people.
John says he was exiled on the island of Patmos, where he saw a vision of the risen Jesus standing among seven burning lights. The image, adapted from Zechariah 4, is a symbol of seven churches in Asia Minor. Jesus addressed the specific problems facing each church, and warned them that a “tribulation” was upon the churches that would force them to choose between compromise and faithfulness. In the midst of persecution, Jesus calls the churches to faithfulness.

Brother. You’ve skipped so much. You better read 22:18-19 and take it to heart. Seriously. Not been mean but you’re messing with Christ’s prophecy.
Isn’t Gods kingdom already here? Luke 17:21
There is no marriage between Heaven and Earth. That is not what the Bible teaches.
The "overcomers" mentioned in the book of Revelation are those saved disciples who FAILED to overcome and be taken up in the rapture.
The disciples who find themselves left behind and trapped in the Great Tribulation will have to "overcome" the horrors of that time and many will have to die for their faith.
The pope just died! Next is the end of the world. Look up the prophecy of the popes. It has all been fulfilled.
Did God come to John in a dream or while he was sleeping?
If you are listening to this, please understand that Revelation is not merely a symbolic literature where you gotta go and figure out what it means to you, it is literal! There will come a time when the ecclesia of believers will be taken from this earth and a literal anti-christ and false prophet will deceive the world for 3 1/2 years and then the anti-christ will claim to be God for 3 1/2 more years. All believers who surrender their lives to Jesus before this time will be removed before the 7 years of God’s wrath on this earth! God’s prophecy of Jesus was not symbolic but fulfilled to the day. Revelation will be fulfilled to the day and literally!
There is absolutely no history in the book of Revelation. None, Zero, Zilch, Nada.
The Book of Revelation is 100% prophecy.

It was not written by anyone called John. That is a metafore. Its structure is ‘major arcana’ It is about a time paradox. "What is what was and what is to come" concerning awareness. Especially concerned with life and death. The awareness aspect can be seen on the placing of the cities when that schema was set up..
Revelation is the book of hope telling us the future where we will be when we believe in Jesus Christ.
The first five words in the book of Revelation expose its entire purpose.
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ". That is what it is. Period.
How can I get a copy of the full drawing?
On November 4, 2024, the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. Literally. It was livestreamed.
The very next day, on the very same shore of the very same sea, the dragon received his seventh crown. The seventh king became an eighth king. The lamb-like beast of the land earned its second horn. The ten kings without a kingdom gave their full power and authority to the beast from the sea, whose seven heads—literal heads—were all watching and celebrating at the place of many waters. The man who gave the beast its number, 666, was there too, and although his head did not bear the blasphemous name, he held three of the beast’s ten crowns. The woman who rode atop the scarlet beast, who dressed in purple and scarlet, who was adorned with precious stones and pearls, and who proudly held the golden cup filled with the filth of her adulteries, was celebrating with them. There are lots of photographs and videos of it all. The merchants of the earth rejoiced that Babylon had returned, and we learned how the mark on the forehead would soon be necessary for buying and selling. A “new financial ecosystem” was dawning, orchestrated by someone whose company embeds microchips in human brains.
It was all done in plain sight. It wasn’t a fantasy or a delusion; it was reality. Dozens of ancient mysteries suddenly had clear, direct, and unambiguous answers.
If this sounds too bizarre, it may be because you haven’t read the book of Revelation. It is the final and strangest book of the Bible, depicting Christ’s battle with Satan after he was cast down to earth, and featuring a dragon with seven heads, a beast of the sea with ten horns, a prostitute, and lots of angels. It may also be because you were not paying attention to the 2024 presidential election, in which Donald Trump, in his only debate with his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, accused Harris of being the “prostitute of Babylon,” the main character of chapter 17, by saying “All I can say is I read…that she put out.”
Until November 5, 2024, biblical scholars were fairly confident that they had figured out Revelation. Just the year before, one of the world’s great New Testament scholars, Bart Ehrmann, published a brilliant book, Armageddon, explaining what John of Patmos probably meant when he wrote about his vision of the second coming of Christ and his battle with the dragon, the seven-headed beast, the beast of the land, and the city of Babylon.
The seven-headed beast, scholars agreed, was a stand-in for the first-century Roman Empire. So was the whore of Babylon as well as Babylon itself. The reason the beast of the sea had seven heads wasn’t entirely clear, other than seven heads are more fearsome than one. The beast of the land was probably either Nero, the emperor who murdered Christians and let Rome burn, or the Roman imperial cult, which treated Nero like a god. The number of the beast, 666, is the translation of one particular spelling of Nero’s Latin title into Hebrew and then into arithmetic by the numerological system called gematria. It made good sense if you understood that John, the author of Revelation, was a first-century Christian living in exile off the coast of Asia Minor (modern Turkey) who was writing to his fellow Christians about remaining firm in their faith while dealing with Roman oppressors. John’s bizarre vision was really portraying the terrible things that had already happened to the young Christian church and fantasizing about how they might be avenged with the help of God.
This interpretation fit a lot of the evidence. It aligned with some realities of the first-century Roman empire and it fit well with the traditions of apocalyptic literature.
But biblical Christians were never happy with this interpretation. It would mean that John was not really doing what he said he was doing. He wasn’t really revealing “propheteias” (prophecy) about Christ’s second coming and his ultimate victory over evil, but just complaining about his own situation and fantasizing about revenge. If we are supposed to believe the scriptural prophesies about Christ, shouldn’t we also believe the biblical prophecies about the second coming of Christ and his defeat of the Antichrist? Shouldn’t Christians trust scripture to provide the hope and guidance they need in the 21st century to avoid the evil schemes of the Great Deceiver and to secure a place with Christ in eternity?
But there were other serious problems, too. The conventional interpretations did not provide clear, precise, and unambiguous answers to dozens of basic questions about John’s vision. For example, why is the dragon red (12:3)? How does its tail sweep the stars of heaven (12:4)? What was the seemingly fatal wound on one of the heads of the beast, and how was it healed (13:3)? How exactly did the beast blaspheme those who live in heaven (13:6)? What are the two horns of the second beast (13:11)? What are the “adulteries” (17:2, 18:3, 18:9) of Babylon? Why is she a “prostitute” (17:1, 17:5, 17:15) rather than a tyrant? What is the golden cup held by the prostitute, and how exactly is it filled with the filth of her adulteries (17:4)? How can the beast, whose heads include the seventh king, also be an eighth king (17:9-11)? Who exactly are the ten kings without a kingdom (17:12)?
But then, on November 4, 2024, a cascade of events occurred, and dozens of questions which for centuries had only vague and ambiguous answers, at best, suddenly had clear and precise ones.
A new Babylon had revealed itself, a place filled with the “maddening wine of…adulteries” (Revelation 18:3) and “excessive luxuries” (Revelation 18:3) and where the “merchants of the earth” (Revelation 18:11) become rich. This isn’t a matter of political opinion or theology. It’s a word-for-word alignment of a scriptural text with documented evidence, both of which are freely available to everyone.
I sat there and yelled… I don’t care who heals me from my pain i will worship him. The devil didn’t. I now walk with Jesus and spread his word to those he leads me to. My life was spared.
this is all false teaching, the wine of adultey, every nation drinked this wine.
repent because you are killing spirits, you are a destroyer!
Hey all some dude on Instagram is saying these chapters meand Jesus was a black man lol I just wanna understand that I haven’t read the new testament I know a bit but id like to know about other interpretations cause Jesus being black seems very far fetch after reading revelation 1:14-15 I just want to understand cause in the old testament most stories are symbolic abd reading them literally is wrong most of the time, but reading the chapter literally just tells me Jesus had white hair and his feet are a bit burnt which to me seems like Jesus was old hence the white hairs and burnt feet seems logical cause in the middle east of you walk in bible sandals or barefoot, you could cut them on rocks and stuff abd get tanned with time. If anyone have some explanation of the story and the description that’ll be appreciated
the churches were real
it has nothing to do with future Christians – its all about the coming judgement, 70AD
John, the disciple, is going through the tribulation he says so
Its a simple book, in as much as its a warning…and that it was happening SOON…2000 yrs ago…NOT NOW
What about Rev 20:7…?
JOHN MARK WAS JESUS BROTHER
Yes, symbolism is used, but Revelation (the book) should be taken literally. Also, the 144,000 were/are going to be Jewish men who are virgins.
Hand Behold Nail Behold the Lion of the tribe of Juda is the Lamb of the Most High. The 144,000 are genes in your temples genome and the enemy wants to sit in the Temple of the Most High showing it self that he is god. He wants to add a third strand to your DNA making your genome have 322 or 216,000 genes instead of the 144,000 mixing the iron {tech} with the human thus making you unable to repent. Let those who have wisdom calculate the number of the beast. Pray about it cause i do believe this is why they wont repent and can not die although they long for death but it will flee from them. Blessings in the name of the Most High and His Son Yashua and the Holy spirit so be it.

Why did you say that the apostle John COULD have written the book of Revelation?
Not only does the author identify himself in the opening line, of Revelation 1:1 but most early church figures (people like Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and Clement of Alexandria) attribute Revelation to the Apostle John because John stands out as a prominent figure in early Christianity.
.
The salutation also makes it unlikely that this could be another John. With this and outside (credible) sources, it’s reasonable to conclude that John the Apostle wrote the book of Revelation.
(you need to read the "Got Questions" website)
Wow. I love how you made it so easy. Thank you.
Wow…when I watched this, it all clicked for me. I am an English teacher that grew up agnostic and only understood these stories as silly children’s story! I can’t believe I never picked up on the symbolism, imagery, and deeper meaning. Whoa…Now I see the beauty and incredible depth of this story. WOW. Goosebumps. Thank you.
Just read the whole thing. It reads like either someone with schizophrenia, on drugs, having a weird dream or making stuff up. It’s also so poorly written it’s comical at times. It’s clearly written for the people of that time not ours. It references clothing at that time, traditions, slaves, etc. and this is supposed to be coming from a god talking about the future? Nonsense
Though I understand your need to sacralize this part of the Bible, you are very wrong. It is more than just a historical text. Though this John may have been writing an open letter to those 7 churches, it is prophetic, and I am seeing Revelations play out even amongst my own blood kin folk and immediate family. I am seeing the words you call symbolic come to life in real time. So I think you need to step away from the anthropological science and watch the actual theology play out in reality.
2025❤
The lion of Judah is Jesus. The author of this video has no idea what they are talking about.
Thumbs down.
Who’s here in 2025?
Worship to me means paving the way for the Lord.

The Kingdom of God is unseen but rules the hearts of his followers, it is the opposite of the way the world works, GOD GAVE Dominion to mankind to manage his Good world.
Humans are the rightful rulers. The Good News is that God the Son came as a human to rule as a man and as God.
What Jesus’s death accomplished was what normal humans could not, Jesus was a sinles man but also God.
His death and ressurection
Gave us access to the Father, allowed us to be in God’s Kingdom and to have life unto the ages, or eternal life now and forever. Jesus won the victory and paid the price for our treason, our Sin was that we thought we could make ourselves God and rule this earth in our own strength.
He cleansed us from all unrighteousness allowing the Holy Spirit to Tabernacle with us, we are the temple of God, never has this happened before, we are reunited with the Father and the government we as humans was reclaimed by Jesus
We see distorted rulership all through history, we were to rule over the birds and plants etc. But not each other.
Hence, an example of the distortion of God’s Kingdom would be Maga.
The Good News the Apostles Preached and Proclaimed was the Kingdom of God had arrised and to repent.
In Acts 28 Paul and all the othe Apostles Proclaimed the Kingdom of God and to repent and to seek God’s right relationship righteousness.
Then they also and most likely simaltaneously taught about King Jesu and how to enter into that Kingdom.
Nicodemus came to Jesus and asked that very question and Jesu told him how.
Repent and change your mind and actions, confess as in agree with God that you are a rebel and a sinner.
Trust Jsus as your Kng and decide to follow and set yor allegiance to him.
When you do you will be tested and the book of Revelation demonstrates this that we will be called to be faithful to God and Jesus our King by living out the teaching of Christ.
Presently we are starting to live in troubled times and we see factions, a rise in nationalism teplacing colonialism ,we see hatred and national pride and sin being called good
Totally did not mention any references to UFO’s and their relationship to Revelation. Why not?
3:28
I think the 2 witnesses are literally. Probably Moses and Elijah or Elisha.
THERE IS SO MUCH DUAL MEANING IN THE BIBLE. Truly an amazing book
it’s so sad how people are begging for likes on this video of revelation
