The first battle to be won is in the heart. That is why Revelation 3:20 talks about the one-on-one heart-to-heart talk with Him. He is knocking at the door. I believe Revelation needs to be read on at least three levels. The first is the heart-to-heart. Have God show you the beasts, demons, and wicked ones in high places in your mind. From there, all things flow. All the characters of Revelation play a role in your personal life. Whether they are attitudes, personal concepts, theological positions, etc, they will influence the way you think, handle issues and deal with situations. They are not Him, through you, walking this world. They are battles to be won to become in His image.
The second view of looking at Revelation is through churches, as they influence how you believe and respond to events and people. This is where bodies of people move as one, not necessarily in the direction the Lord wants them to go. Leaders of these bodies of people can be the harlots of Babylon, and the people become hateful cages birds.
The third view of looking at Revelation is through the political arena. Governments, Conglomerates, and huge influential companies. They control the financial world [no buying or selling], the medical world [by pharmika is the world deceived], the military [they make war]
If you study Revelation without that one on one heart to heart meeting with Him, you will no escape the entanglements of this world in order to perceive the world as the Lord sees it.
