Yeah, the Jews would love this book!
Sure they would.I don't even know if they read it...but I doubt if they understand much of it if they do.
It has 12 of their 12 tribes in it.
Israel, Judah and Moses [and Jezebel] are mentioned in it.
Revelation is taken from most of THEIR own OT scriptures and your saying they wouldn't understand it?
Allusions in Revelation from Old Testament
I find this person's view concerning the "allusions" found in the book of Revelation that are found in the Old Testament/Covenant rather fascinating.
Would anyone like to put down verses from Revelation and the verses from the OT/OC that are "alluded" to? I think that would be enjoyable and edifying. Thanks
THE SYMBOLISM IN BOOK OF REVELATION
One man studied and found 348 allusions (not illusions, Light) in Revelation from the Old Testament. You see the similarity in wording and the context mirrored in Revelation and the particular Old Testament story, and immediately can recognize the reference source!
That's IF you know the bible well enough to even notice that.
95 of the 348 plain references used in Revelation as taken from the Old Testament are repeated in Revelation.
That makes about 250 Old Testament passages are cited. How many chapters are in Revelation? 22. That makes about TEN OLD TESTAMENT REFERENCES FOR EVERY CHAPTER!

These are some of those "allusions" I posted and I welcome those here to also post some to post on it.......
