As a youth I was plagued with the question, why? What was the reason behind it all? I have thought long about nature of life and have read many great books. Of all the books I read none intrigued me more than The Revelation of Jesus Christ. It is a short book, and yet always left me staggering with bewilderment. I understand today that the symbolism employed in its text is meant to convey a multiplicity of narratives. However, in my studies it seemed that some interpretations could not be rectified with others. As I delved into the symbolism of Jewish, Greek and Egyptian culture, I was astonished with the tapestry of stories it conveyed. Though exotic in its approach and descriptive style from the rest of the New Testament, I concede that the book of Revelation is a work of inspired Beauty. There is no way that I can improve on such a work. To attempt as much would be to bring the plagues it speaks of upon myself and deny the growth of further enlightenment. Therefore, what is read in the following is simply an attempt to parse my own understanding of its teaching. It is not a substitute or addendum, but an arrangement of ideas that I might define what I do not comprehend and apply what is deemed natural. My aim is to distill the vast subjects it presents into a starting place. To illuminate the steppingstones of a working faith. The Revealing of Christ seems to be a reply, based on keen observation and passed down from Our ancestors, to those who would be so bold as to ask, why?
