I just don't believe so.

I understand some and am learning more. It is a 'hard' book to comprehend, but not impossible. The book of Daniel has a number of the same prophesies dealing with the same period of time, namely, the time of the end / last days. We are living in that time period. Some of the prophesies in Revelation have been fulfilled, some are in the process of being fulfilled right now, but there is still a lot to happen before the end / Armageddon is here.

Yes, alot of it I do, but with alot of study. It is very facinating. Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be understood, or that would make the Lord a liar. He says in Revelation 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take it to heart what is written in it. It's the only book that the Lord promises it's readers a blessing. So, if it could not be understood, why would the all=knowing God promise a blessing to those who read it? He wants us to read our future, so we can know how to peacefully live in the present in Him. Satan, on the other hand deters people from reading Revelation with deceptive reasons, one being it cannot be understood, etc. Satan doesn't want us to read of his final doom to the Lake of Eternal Fire. There is some that we will not understand until we're in Heaven.

It's not that difficult to understand if you have a tool to understanding Revelations.
Jehovah's Witnesses have a wonderful book called [ Revelation Its Grand Climax At Hand ! ].
Revelation chapter 1 verse 3: "Happy is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and who observe the things written in it; for the appointed time is near."

Revelation is a "heavy" book to read and understand. There is so much that is symbolic, that you really have to look and understand prophecy to realize if it is literal or symbolic. The prophecies in Daniel helps us to understand it to a point. But i believe that the full "revelation" will not be until we reach heaven. But, a lot of it can be understood with Study and prayer.

Ps139-Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, I cannot attain it.
Several people have claimed to understand Reveleation, but all have met embarrasing failure. (88 Reasons the World Will End in 1988, et al)
Only God the Father knows what will happen in the End.
But as far as I can tell-we win, that's all you need to know.

If you wish to understand the book of Revelations, it is best to also read the prophetic books of the Old Testament. They go hand in hand.

Haven't really sat down and studied it in depth. But I understand some of what I have studied. It's not easy reading, that's for sure.
