"The seven trumpets in the Revelation are a striking spiritualization of the plagues the Lord sent upon Egypt! As we look at these plagues we see that they are likened unto the literal plagues upon Egypt, but we know that the book of Revelation is a spiritual book of spiritual truths and spiritual experiences addressed to a spiritual people which can be perceived and received only by the spirit! Can we not see by this that the spiritual plagues come upon the spirit of Egypt within each of us to bring the release of our spiritual man from the dominance of the carnal mind that we may march out of the bondage of the flesh, the Adamic nature, the human identity and consciousness, the spirit of the world, and enter into the full realization of our inheritance in our promised land — Christ! Is that truth not infinitely more blessed and meaningful than literal plagues falling upon the nations of earth! Truly these plagues bring THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST!"

Thanks, I've been looking at Revelation from a spiritual perspective for some time now, the above quotes are from essay 106 of a 240 essay series of Revelation from an idealist perspective.
No problem Brother! I think we both agree JESUS CHRIST is the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS and we have been afforded GRACE and MERCY beyond our wildest imaginations! Praise the LORD JESUS CHRIST!
The Naked Bible Podcast just finished a series on the use of the Old Testament in the book of Revelation. It is an OT scholar doing a thorough walk through of the book, and he references multiple commentaries from other scholars. It’s a great set of episodes.
