Why is it so important to understand what type of book Revelation is? How has what you’ve learned in this lecture changed your understanding of the book of Revelation?
-
It’s important to understand the type of book Revelation is, so that we don’t misinterpret the true meaning of God’s Word.
From this lecture, I learned when I read Revelation, I shouldn’t just focus on what’s going to happen in the future but also understand what John is trying to proclaim and reveal in his letters.
I can now read Revelation and understand in different aspects and not just one of knowing what’s going to happen. -
It’s important to understand the type of Revelation is because, it helps with understanding it and helps to avoid any misinterpretation.
So far in the lecture, I’ve come to understand that Revelation it is a prophecy of what is to come, it tells the reality of how God has always been in control, and the weakness of the world powers.
-
Why is Revelation’s first-century historical context important to understanding the book? How has your understanding of Revelation changed after learning more about its historical context?
-
The first-century historical context is important because all of the Bible is intended to be understood by God’s people. I never thought about this before and this makes perfect sense. Give that this is a letter to His people, God wouldn’t want the Book of Revelation, or any other book in the Bible, to be so misunderstood and mysterious that only some could understand it. The Bible repeats the phrase “he who has an ear to hear, let him hear” in different places, mostly the Book of Revelation.
-
You need the historical context to help you understand the whole story better, with out the context nothing will make sense to you.
-
It is important to understand historical context, I order to interpret Revelation’s meaning accurately
The observation that if my view couldn’t have been understudy the 1st century audience- it’s probably incorrect -
historical context is important to help you understand when the book written, to whom it was written and why to better apply to the current culture and time
-
It is important to understand the first-century historical context of Revelation to build a foundation before moving forward. The historical context is a solid point of entry into understanding Revelation. I don’t believe my understanding of Revelation has changed as I continue to learn more about its historical context.
