Is the book of Revelation meant to be read like a modern history book — or are we asking it to do something it was never designed to do?
This week, I released a new teaching video on Why You Can’t Read Revelation Like a History Book. It’s part of our ongoing series on the end times, but this episode intentionally slows us down before we ever get to timelines or conclusions.
Much of the confusion (and anxiety) around Revelation doesn’t come from ignoring Scripture. It often comes from reading apocalyptic literature as if it were modern historical reporting. The Bible speaks in many forms — narrative, poetry, letters,
prophecy — and apocalyptic language has its own purpose.
Rather than hiding truth, it reveals hope through symbols, imagery, and visions, especially in seasons of suffering and pressure. This episode isn’t about picking sides. It’s about learning how Scripture speaks, so we can read with clarity, humility, and confidence.
If Revelation has ever felt confusing or overwhelming, you’re not alone — and that’s exactly why we’re having this conversation.
As always, thank you for reading, listening, and learning alongside me.
Grace and peace,
Tony
See you next week!
