I have a few qualms with many Revelation teachers (and even Study Bibles, if I\u2019m honest) because they often teach Revelation as they believe it. While there are some parts of the book that leave little to interpretation, there is much that isn\u2019t so clear. To teach only the theory of the interpretation that I adhere to seems a bit pompous to me, and I hope sincerely to refrain from such grandiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What might you expect here? My goal is to present the Scripture to you in such a way as to lead you into the Presence of the Lord with such clarity, confidence, and knowledge that you are free to listen to Him tell you what YOU need to know in its pages. When we come to the Lord expecting to be overwhelmed and overexposed, we often end up empty\u2014our hands aren\u2019t open, so we take nothing away. The goal isn\u2019t necessarily answers (I really don\u2019t claim to have many). The goal is openness, calm understanding, teachability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-vip.net\/WestBowPress\/856364\/excerpt-2\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">READ AN EXCERPT<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westbowpress.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/856364-revelation-without-confusion\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORDER A COPY NOW<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s what I hope to engender: I want you to feel as though Revelation is for you, something you can and should understand, something clear and hope-filled, something meant to be pondered and eventually grasped.
