How Should I Read the Book of Revelation?
Pastor Michael sits down with Rev. Dr. Danny Zacharias (New Testament professor, Acadia Divinity College) to discuss:
• Origins of the popular ‘futurist’ approach to the book and why it’s not the best way to handle the text.
• How understanding the genres present in the book (letters, apocalyptic, prophecy) help us know how to interpret it correctly.
• The timelessness of Revelation’s message.
• How worship in the midst of great trial is a major feature of the book.
• Why it’s significant that Jesus is presented in Revelation predominantly as a slaughtered lamb.
• The ‘political’ themes in Revelation.
• Recommended resources for further study.
• And more!
For anyone who has been taught that the book of Revelation presents a play by play of yet-to-happen events, this is a must-listen-to podcast!
