I personally think some of the comments on this site can get pretty ridiculous at times, more importantly, they can utterly obliterate an otherwise important message. However, you know what is said about opinions and how they are like a particular body part (everybody’s got one, and they all stink). The thing I have seen that truly ruins credibility is when atheists/agnostics/whatever pontificate about the Bible, yet they don’t believe in it in the first place.

The information overload is that everything in Revelation is based on OT Prophecy. It's not for us to speculate, but to find the connection.
And the main theme is Faithfulness through difficulty: "she that endures to the end shall be Saved."
satan doesn't want anyone hearing that, and our flesh is entirely too eager to agree with him:

I agree, it won’t be easy. But the point I am coming from is that the 1rst coming of Jesus was also OT prophecy, and everyone still got it wrong of how it actually happened. They expected a warrior, a champion, and some dug their heels in and refused to let go of their own understanding and missed what was right in front of them. There are major truths in revelation that yes, we can’t get away from. Enduring to the end is one of them. I think how it actually plays out is something the church has interpreted, I don’t want to say entirely wrong, but not complete. So that is what I meant by info overload, not the book itself but all the various interpretations and debates of what is right and wrong.
I think if we get too planted in how we think things will go, we can miss something right in front of us. Have our foundation but remember to look up too. Does that make sense? God and His infinite wisdom lol.
Also, I hope you’ve well CIAMM! Things have been pretty crazy here. The Lord has certainly been pushing us out of our comfort zone and growing us! It’s been wild haha.
