How do you read Revelation? The way you read this book determines how you view the future and a whole host of other issues. Historically there have been 4 main ways that Revelation has been read and the tradition you were raised in will determine to a large extent how you read it. And given America's preoccupation and fascination with this book I thought it was only logical to cover this in a video.
