The Book of Revelation

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


The Book of Revelation is a unique portion of the New Testament. Unlike the other Books found in the latter part of the Bible,
the Book of Revelation is not presented as a historical document or an instructional discussion, but is essentially a prophetic book, intended to deliver a glimpse of upcoming history that affects the happenings of the church. The paper considers why more mystery and disagreement surrounds the Book of Revelation than any other part of the New Testament. It shows that one reason why there is so much disharmony in the interpretations of the Book of Revelation is that there are different perspectives from which this apocalyptic book could be understood. The magnificence of Revelation is apparent in its intersection of shared imagery, language and style. This paper focuses on chapter 20 of the book of Revelations, by dissecting it line by line.
