Five Strategies for Reading Revelation

1.  Read it like a political cartoon:  It is much deeper than a literal picture.
2.  Don't stop reading until you hear singing:  Revelation is cyclical.
3.  Keep prophecy Biblical.
4.  Keep one finger in the Old Testament:  Use the Old Testament to help interpret what's being said in Revelation.
5.  Think like a Roman:  Put Revelation in the context of Roman times and thinking.
