I have great understanding of the Bible, including the difficulties of interpreting Revelation. That does NOT invalidate the book in any way, shape or form! But it does mean I am humble enough to admit that the book is mysterious, and no one has the real answers, at this time.
I have studied every end times scenerio, some in seminary and some after I graduated. I have read many books by scholars on Revelation, whom I trust more than I ever would someone who really does not have a clue about either eschatology or interpreting Revelation, or interpreting the Bible, for that matter. I do have end times views, or eschatology, but they are educated guesses, as my theology prof once said. Wisdom dictates with a book like Revelation, someone sitting at home, reading the book with no training or understanding of Bible interpretation is not likely going to be the one who comes up with the ultimate answers. Do you even read Greek? Greek is not necessary to know or follow God. But if you want to get into theology, then yes, you need a lot more training, including interpretation and the original langugages.
Witness your website. People need look no farther than that to realize you have gone off the deep end. Sorry to be so harsh, but I detest what I call "junk" theology.
That's my final comment.
