What new things about interpreting the book of Revelation did you learn from this lesson?
-
I learned that there are several different ways to interpret the book of Revelation and we should be open minded and accepting of these different interpretations.
-
I have heard from various places and pastors of the seven seals, trumpets, and bowls. But they were just an overview of what I read and listen to in this course so far. To this point of the lesson, not the whole book, is quite interesting learning how John and God talked, the letters to the churches, the trumpets, seals, 144,000, and the witnesses. I find it all fascinating.
-
One thing that reframed my thinking was the clarification on Jesus telling his people not be lukewarm. We automatically assume being on fire/hot for God is the good and being cold is turn away from Christ. Instead, to be hot is to be therapeutic through our faith and to be cold is to be refreshingly cold.

From this lesson I learned that there are four different ways that people interpret the book of Revelation.
I really enjoyed reading the video transcript after watching, it helped me to dissect and revisit the analysis portion of this lesson on Revelation (I read it multiple times). I gathered new learning in the sections on “Readership, Circumstances, and Date”.
I was reminded that Revelation was corroborated by the prophecies of Ezekiel and Daniel.

I found it more confusing then anything.
