The Seventh Trumpet Has Sounded

 The Seventh Trumpet Has Sounded, Jim Burruss, Independently Published, 2020

When talking about, and studying, the Book of Revelation in the Bible, most people are understandably fixated on the End Times part; when and how the world will end. Instead of depending on someone else's interpretation, why can't you read it and come up with your own interpretation?

When studying any part of the Bible, a general understanding of the rest of the Bible is helpful. There is a chapter-by-chapter summary. Numbers are very important in the Bible, including Revelation. Sometimes, they are meant to be taken literally, and sometimes they are meant to be taken metaphorically. The number signifies unity or oneness, while the number three signifies the three parts of the Trinity. The number seven is very popular in the Bible. It expressed completeness; it is considered the most scared number to the Hebrews. The whole Book of Revelation was addressed to the seven churches in Asia (God probably had a lot more churches that that in such a vast area). The number twelve thousand signifies the number of people from each of the twelve tribes of Israel who will be saved. The book also explores subjects like when Revelation was written, the thousand-year-reign of Christ, the works of the Devil and Armageddon. 

This book is very interesting and very easy to understand. For anyone who wants a better understanding of Revelation, aside from the Last Days part, start here.
