The very first time I tried to read the Bible (actually just the New Testament as I didn’t have the whole Bible and it was pre-internet era), I went straight to the book of Revelations (just because I like to read books from the end :) ), and it was pretty shocking, given that I didn’t have any religious knowledge or even history knowledge whatsoever (thanks to communists trying to suppress any information on those)...
The 2nd time I read it a few years later, it was after I actually believed in God and with the help of His Spirit was able to read the whole New Testament and understand it to much greater degree as compared to all of my previous attempts before I believed. And I understood much more of the Revelations than the first time.
That was 25 years ago.
Later on, rereading it, it’s amazing to find new meanings and understanding almost every time I read it.
But, out of all of the books of the Bible, this book has the most of mysteries that haven’t been solved or haven’t happened yet... and no amount of commentaries that I read give a satisfying explanation sometimes... and yet the main message is clear ...
