"God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom dwelleth wisdom and knowledge, flood Thou our souls with understanding from above! Open now our eyes that we may behold the depths of truth that can be known only by the quickening of Thy Spirit! Remove the dark veil from our hearts, the veil of natural understanding and religious tradition cast over our minds by the carnal church systems of men, that light divine may shine upon us! Grant to our spirits the breath of inspiration that we may know as Thou knowest, and see as Thou seest! Amen! The book of Revelation was not sent to Israel nor to the nations. It was sent to the church, the called out elect of God. The only "end" referred to in this book is JESUS! "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Rev. 22:13). The Revelation is not about "the end times;" it is about a NEW DAY, it is the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST!"

+1 from me, good article.
One sect putting down another sect.
It's amazing the amount of work people have done.
Reading Preston Eby won't harm any saint. His work on Revelation is exhaustive and true to the idealist/spiritual interpretation of Revelation. His handling of Latter Rain/manifest sons of God heresy is mature and from experience. He stays true to scripture.
I think the church needs the spiritual interpretation of Revelation, I know I did. I rejected the rapture and end time theology associated with Revelation since the 1980s, mainly because of the flesh and blood, brick and mortar interpretations didn't line up with the Jesus Christ I knew, the spirit of truth wouldn't allow me to embrace that stuff.
