Understanding Revelations

As many of you know, I have been teaching Gospel Doctrine in Sunday School for the past few months. In the coming two week I will be teaching out of the Book of Revelations. The challenge of this book is that the language seems unfamiliar. We have difficulty understanding what John is trying to convey to us. There is a solution that the message below demonstrates:

O SIBILI, SI ERGO:
FORTIBUSES INERO.
OHNOBILI, DEMIS TRUX.
SEWATIS ENIM?
COWSNDUX

For about 98% of those who see this message, the meaning is invisible. And yet, when they continue to look at it and to read it over and over, sometimes even reading aloud to hear and experience the sounds of the language, the passage suddenly opens itself and its complexity becomes clear. Try it yourself. Read it over at least twice out loud, and have someone else nearby read it to you. You will soon discover that the message is clear.

The book of Revelation is much the same. The first time through the book, or through a section of the book, you may feel confused and unrewarded. But as you look again and again, as you begin to isolate phrases and concepts whose meanings are clear, and then to link them together and to adjoining verses, you will suddenly discover that the book will open itself to you in a wonderful way.
