You're arguing past yourself and misrepresenting your own position. Revelation is absolutely taken literally, and that doesn't take away from the symbolism that is present in it. Literal does not mean stupid, it means literal. As I said above, there is context which was used for various purposes, one of which being to prevent the government of the time from discarding the messages and preventing it's spread.
Nowhere did I say that symbolism isn't used in The Bible, or that some elements of Revelations aren't symbolic, but rather that the book as a whole isn't just some fantasy representing total mystery, confusion, and drama, which is what people mean when they say that Revelation is a book of symbolism. The Revelation of Jesus Christ is absolutely a book which can be deciphered and understood if one tries. No other book of The Bible comes with an explicit promise of blessing for it's study.
I agree 100% with... . The Revelation of Jesus Christ is absolutely a book which can be deciphered and understood if one tries.
We are given Free Will.
Our Free Will gives us two choices.
We can trust what God says about His love for us is true. Or we can trust self.
Trusting God is walking in the truth.
Trusting Self is being blinded to the truth.
Right now the world is controlled by people that trust in self. (self is anything that is not God)
I see the Book of Revelation pointing to a time when we are set free from the lie. A time when the control that evil has to hide the truth is gone.
It will be the Great revealing of the truth.

I was with you until here.
If you're claiming that Q and Revelation are about the same events, then I would love for you to suggest where America is mentioned in Revelation, or how anything from Revelation and the relevant prophecies, and Q match up. The simple fact is that believers who are here today are not present during The Tribulation because of The Rapture. There will be multitudes saved saved during The Tribulation who have never truly heard The Gospel before, but existing believers won't be around, save for the 144,000 + 2 witnesses (likely Moses and Elijah).
Again, I'd be very interesting in hearing about how you think Revelation/End Times Prophecy and Q match up. Or, please feel free to tell me if you were just using the term Great Awakening in a different manner than what I'm interpreting.
There is only one Great Awakening. That will be the Apocalypse.
That is the end of the world. That is NOT the end of the earth.
The world is man made. The earth is God Made.
Apocalypse means to uncover or to reveal the truth.
When that happens the world system that we live under falls apart.
Q seems to said that when they say we the people have the power if we would just open our eyes.
If Q is stating that What is coming is the Great Reveal of the truth then yes I would say there is a connection.
If Q is just using the term Great Awakening has a political term than no I do not see a connection.

Okay, maybe I did not explain myself well.
