The book of Revelation has about 400 verses, which contain over 800 references to the Old Testament. Thus it requires exhaustive study in the OT. If you are one of those that studies the New Testament only, you won't get it. This is entirely correct. It seems to me, Mr. Buggman, that you have missed a very fundamental precept. In trying to explain prophecy you have neglected to study the prophets, and because of that, your book will never make sense to anyone.

That is very kind of you to point out what you perceive as his deficiencies. However, your generalization does not make sense to anyone without examples. If you had taken the time to study what Buggman has written, although you might not agree with him on everything he says, you would see that he has proposed an interpretation of the prophecies in Revelation that are as plausible as any post mil or amil theory out there.
The only real problem I see is that his charts don't have enough lines and arrows to be eschatologically obscure. But that will come with maturity as he grows out of youth work.

Given how little you've seen of my work so far (maybe 20 pages out of nearly five hundred), I'm curious as to how you came to this conclusion.

With this single post, Mr. Pistolero Azul, you have assured that few here will ever take anything you post hereafter seriously.
What a remarkable accomplishment.
