The book of Revelation is one of the most discussed and controversial in the entire Bible. Some believe it describes events which have already occurred others think it discusses events that haven’t happened yet. It has never been fully and conclusively interpreted but it uses a lot of symbolism and supernatural imagery.

I am not sure anyone has mentioned it at LGF yet but there was a big uproar from the right when an MSNBC commentator called Revelation a work of fiction.

As I said earlier a lot of descriptions of the end times, including in the bible itself are somewhat vague and general and could apply to potentially any time period in history. There will always be natural disasters, there will always be countries at war and there will always people suffering.

I don’t think it’s fiction, more of a fantasy, describing who know what. It is a interesting read, but not anything I’d bet the farm on.
