Hi Marty ..
I would not say Walt is way off on this at all. We all interpret Scripture differently. He's found something and wants to share it. It's up to us whether we accept it or not. That's where the discernment of God comes in.
Revelations is an end time prophecy book to me. But that's because I believe in the Tribulation. I attend a Church of Christ college but do not subscribe to their beliefs as I am Pentecostal. I think the book of Revelation is a jewel in itself, and no one has yet touched the mysteries it contains. As all of the books in the Bible. Revelations is also very symbolic. A truly magnificent work by John. When I arrive in Heaven I am going to sit at John's feet and ask him how it felt to be shown all those marvelous things by the Lord.

When reading, I walk with John and I, too, am caught up in what he sees. When reading the OT, I march with the Israelites, I watch Rahab drop the scarlet ribbon, I watch with curiosity as Isaiah lays on his side and then burns dung. I walk with Solomon in the vision God gave him and see all the animals. I have been to so many places in the Bible

, and my favorite has to be Abraham. I love the OT....
So, to say Walt is way off in his interpretation would not be true. Because to him, he is not.

God bless
