Why are there so many different interpretations regarding the Book of Revelation? |
|

Most commentators are very aware that the Book of Revelation is filled with a plethora of Old Testament references, but they simply do not go to that material for enlightenment. Most commentators try to “flesh out the bones” without reference to the Old Testament. This makes the Book of Revelation very hard to understand because they are trying to fill in gaps without the proper information. Ironically, the proper information is right there, very available in the Old Testament, but commentators make very little use of it. This is why there are so many “interpretations” of the Book of Revelation. People are depending upon themselves for the interpretation rather than going to the material that will do the job for them. The result is that the “bones” are covered over with all kinds of strange and confusing “flesh.” It is no wonder that most people feel the Book of Revelation is so difficult. The reader should let Scripture interpret Scripture. That means that the reader must be an avid student of Scripture.
