Hello everyone welcome to another follow him favorites my name's Hank Smith

I'm here with the incredible John by the way you know the drill John we're gonna take a single

question from this week's lesson we're starting the book of revelation this week single question

we're starting the book of revelation this week John so our question is pretty simple

what's with all these symbols in the book of revelation what am I supposed to do with all these?

symbolism was like an ancient language.

We know that others used it in the scriptures too,

and please don't get bogged down trying to understand this or that or what everything means because then you might get too definite

too distinct take a 30,000 foot view look at the whole thing what are we learning about the end and

there's one symbol that we all know and I know you want to talk

about this Hank and that is the Lamb who is the Lamb we should look for

themes in the book one of the major themes throughout the book, you're right, is The Lamb.

The Lamb is introduced in Chapter 5 and then all throughout the book you watch for the lamb especially towards the end when the lamb returns

that should be our major highlight I think of the book just focus on that one

symbol of the lamb I think you'd walk away with at least a grasp of what the message of the book is.

The Lamb went. Yeah and remember that way back in the book of John when John the Baptist first saw Jesus he used that phrase

behold the Lamb of God and now we know that that's when Christ came and that's what

John called him and now we're coming back to that name and that symbol.

The happy news about the book of revelation,

it is really hard, but in the end everything comes out right

and the Lamb of God prevails and that's the main thing and then you can get

more detail as you go through too.
