It’s important to understand the type of book Revelation is, so that we don’t misinterpret the true meaning of God’s Word.
From this lecture, I learned when I read Revelation, I shouldn’t just focus on what’s going to happen in the future but also understand what John is trying to proclaim and reveal in his letters.
I can now read Revelation and understand in different aspects and not just one of knowing what’s going to happen.

It’s important to understand the type of Revelation is because, it helps with understanding it and helps to avoid any misinterpretation.

So far in the lecture, I’ve come to understand that Revelation it is a prophecy of what is to come, it tells the reality of how God has always been in control, and the weakness of the world powers.
