It's my favorite part of the Bible, but often times is confuses me. Like in 7:3, "And I was told that the number of those who were marked with God's seal on their foreheads were 144,000" which was all the Israelites. Nowadays, aren't there much more than that? And what about Chirstians, aren't there billions? And 11:4-14, why are the 'witnesses' lamps and trees? They are described as having mouths and full bodies, which makes little sense to me. (but I'm sure if I asked Father Cook he coul tell me what everything meant...) And stars being dropped to earth, stars are big huge balls of fire hundreds of times as large as earth! Most of it is all symbolic, I know, but half of it cannot physically ever happen.
Or, maybe I've just been reading too much Angels and Demons, eh? =D
