Does Revelation tell us- in detail- about events in the future?
This is one of those disagreements I warned you about! Some people look at Revelation as a kind of “road map” that predicts the future in detail. If you can read the map, they say, you can know what is going to happen. Others–like me– believe Revelation only shows us the future in very, very general ways that could apply to any Christians, anytime, anywhere. I would caution you to remember that every generation of Christians has tended to think they understood events in Revelation clearly, and all have been proven wrong about much of what they said. So be humble and teachable. Revelation is like a great mountain. Climbing it demands all different kinds of knowledge to avoid the hazards and traps, but once we have worked to get to the “good views,” all that work is worth it.
