Episode 68 - Revelation made Relevant Part 1.2

The book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible that promises a blessing to those who read, hear, and, most importantly, heed what it says. This shows how important our Lord’s Revelation to John is, whether you’re a Christian in first century Smyrna or twenty-first century America. Now the type of importance the book has depends upon how we view it. Does it just have historical significance, or is there future significance as well? Is it allegory, or reality? As Fr. Ward breaks down for us, there are essentially four main views of Revelation held at different times by different factions in the Church, and while parts of Revelation could point to each of those views, no one view is able to completely interpret a book so profound.
