I do not disagree with the words of Jesus. You are engaged in an ad hominem attack against me with such a suggestion that my distaste for the FICTIONAL Left Behind series is a reflection on the state of my personal relationship with Christ or belief in the Bible.
That series commercially exploits the common misunderstandings of the fantastical imagery in St John's Revelation.
Revelation IS prophecy, written in symbolic, prophetic language of scholars, not meant for the simplistic literal translation found in Left Behind.

Revelation IS prophecy, written in symbolic, prophetic language of scholars, not meant for the simplistic literal translation found in Left Behind.

The "Left Behind" series DOES embrace the views of MANY Biblical Scholars.

Since you consider YOURSELF a Biblical Scholar, learned enough to pronounce scathing judgement on the writers of the "Left Behind" series, please tell us what is YOUR interpretation of Revelation.

I understand you can't "explain" the whole book, just hit some SPECIFIC highlights of YOUR interpratation of End-Times events as revealed in Scripture according to YOUR understanding of them.

Thanks.
