So Revelation would be understandable for most Jews at that time. Nancy, I have to disagree with you on this for a few reasons. First, the majority of Jews during the days of Jesus never saw Him in the scriptures at all. They knew there was a coming messiah but thought he was a political messiah, not a suffering one as the scriptures foretold. Second, after his death and resurrection, still, only a very small percentage of the total population gave they hearts over to him. The reason being that they still were not persuaded he was the chosen one. Third, the book of Revelation was relatively a closed book to most bible scholars, many even unwilling to even give a shot at speculation. It wasn't until about 150 years ago that a renewed interest sprung up. If the church for two thousand years is still baffled by what is being said what proof is there that the Jews in the first century understood it? Chris
