Christians usually look towards book of revelation to get a sense of what is going to happen or to predict future events. Some say that revelation should be interpreted literally and others say that it is symbolic etc.
To be honest as of now I don't know how to look at book of revelation. In future maybe God will give me the key to interpret it. But I do believe that we should not try too hard to find a correct way to interpret it. Jesus says that only the Father know the exact time of His second coming, then why should we try hard to interpret it.
While reading the book of revelation only 2 things are certain to me:
1. God is in complete control of this universe in spite man having a free will. Sounds antithetical, but in Christ....All things are possible ( Mark 10:27)
2. Second coming of Christ & Judgement day is as certain as the sun rising from the east.
As long as we believe these two points, I think we are fairly well placed.
