In this short series, I first share my own perception of this concept, after years of being taught one option, but then finally digging into Scriptures for myself. And guess what? Until I leave this life, nothing conceptually is finalized.
Here's why: I remain attentive to how The Lord says He reveals insights, knowledge, wisdom and understanding to us. (See: Isaiah 28:10 & 13) Much more importantly, I look forward to continuing to benefit from what He promised in Joel 2:28-29, and later confirmed through Paul in Acts 2:17-18. Don't you, too??
In Part 2, for your perusal and hopefully your thoughtful pondering and study, I offer a lengthy list of strategic questions that might help you to broaden the aperture of your insights on this important concept. There are tremendous benefits to deep dives into Scripture, especially The Book of Revelation, with The Lord’s personalized, promised blessings upon us who read, who hear the words of this prophecy, and who keep those things which are written in it.
Friends, I trust you are 'Revelation-blessed'.
