If HE took the time to write me a letter then I want to read ALL of it and with His guidance, navigate through errors in translation as they present themselves. Our Father certainly blessed men such as E.W. Bullinger and James Strong...all men are fallible but when combined with prayer, HE can and will show you the truth He wants you to see. He promised wisdom for those who seek it...I ask multiple times a day for 3 things...open eyes, open ears and a closed mouth.
As for Revelation...the very name means to be revealed....There is SO MUCH to learn from it. Christ addresses 7 churches and that should teach you volumes. 2 out of 7 got a good report. Christ was not happy with the other 5. Logic demands you compare the two he was pleased with, find the common denominator and use that as a litmus test for whatever church you attend. The two churches Christ was happy with both knew who the kenites are....those who CLAIM to be our brother Judah but do lie. If your church does not address that, perhaps you should consider it....if Christ thought it was important and your church doesn't....well....who do you follow?
Knowing who they are lets you know who your enemy is(one of them)...even if you cannot do anything about it, for Christ also told you in Matthew 13, parable of the tares...and if you don't understand that parable...the rest of them will not make much sense either.....You are to leave them alone. Don't attack them or draw attention to them, the angels will reap, bundle and burn them at our Fathers order...not ours. BUT, we are called to watch. Be alert. How can you watch if you don't know what you're watching for??? It breaks my heart to know people ignore parts of The Word...laboring under the delusion they don't need it. Sad.
