"I like to call those who finally realize that the book of Revelation uses figurative language 'Aha! Millennialists.' While I say this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, there is a serious point. When we begin to read Revelation in the way the original author intended it to be read, we can begin to understand its intended meaning.

Knowing the Old Testament and the rest of the New Testament will help us understand it."
