Can someone explain revelations to me?
Thanks
Fictional.
Its that simple.
What is the point of replies like this? The OP is looking for interpretations of Revelation. If the OP thought Revelation was completely fictional, would he or she be asking that question in the first place? Do you like the sound of your own keyboard that much?

People who saw "Mulholland Drive" knew it was fiction but still asked people to explain it to them. Long discussions were devoted to it.

I can see where it could be interesting to someone who doesn't believe just because there is so much discussion of it.

Then why are you still commenting? We get it. You think the entire thing is fictional.

Why? The truth too much of a threat? Sorry. There is no middle ground.
How long are you going to wait around for some prophacy to come true? Especially when the time frame was supposed to have happened in the lifetime of the writers? What happened? Did your god let the time just slip away from him? And you're still going to support that slacker ?

I don't know who you think you're talking to, but I'm the one who doesn't believe Revelation refers to actual historical events, in the future or the past. I'm the one who thinks it has a mystical meaning, not a literalist meaning.
There is always a middle ground between extremes, sis.

Revelations is nonsense as the entire rest of the bible is.
...
Stranger still is the fact that most of the USA goes by the King James Version which is the version the pilgrims who came here in the early years of this continent's discovery left Europe to escape from.

I don't understand how that relates to the topic. The puritans (ie. pilgrims) were vile, monstrous theocrats. How would the fact that they disliked the KJV be pertinent to your position?

I'm pretty sure most people reading my posts understand why I'm commenting. It's a surprise that you don't. I don't believe in letting proselytizers do their thing unchallenged.

It is a bit of stretch to call it proselytizing when most people said the OP had to decide for themselves and that it is generally difficult to understand the last book in a series without reading the other books that came before it which is mainly what most of us did.

I agree with you 100% .Proselytizers ignorance to the truth should be challenged.However that is not what you are doing.You are trolling Christians with rants and challenging them with belittlement .I’ve not seen you present one fact of credible evidence to deny their ignorance.
If you truly want to challenge the untruths of Christianity use their source of authority the scriptures .For instance The majority of all Christianity’s core doctrinal creed is that Jesus Christ saves from the eternal punishment of hell by believing in his sacrificial death and resurrection.
That is not in the scriptures at all.It is a religious extrapolation.All it takes is some honest effort to know why it isn’t.You have to be willing to find the source of their ignorance and refute it with fact.If you don’t you are just ranting and trolling about ignorance while being ignorant.
