If you take Revelations and the supporting scriptures and apply the principles from Daniel 12:4, "But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." The idea is that these prophecies are for the people of the time. If it is for the people at the time, then it will be written in a way that is understandable for those people. With that in mind, I have taken the scriptures as literally as possible. This has given me an astonishing result. With information flooding out.
