Revelation Week 2 Reading Guide
This week you'll finally dig into the weirdness that makes Revelation so controversial. In this week's readings, you'll see the 3 sets of 7 judgments/plagues. Rather than reading these verses as a prediction of the end, consider reading them as a personification of evil (particularly that of great Empires (including our own)). Notice how John describes the injustices that have become so big, they seemingly can't be controlled. And then notice who DOES have control over them.
