Moses and the Revelation

If we want to understand the book of Revelation, we must remember that it is at the end of the Bible, not the beginning.There are many conflicting ideas concerning what this intriguing and terrifying book is about, but the truth is that although it appears to be foreign territory - a hostile landscape filled with animal totems, confounding signs and confronting images including sacrificial virgins clad in pure white, chosen, slain and ascending with a disturbing sexual undercurrent - the Revelation is in fact a denouement, a revelation, of the natural world, like the last act of a whodunit.To solve the case, we are going to call on the testimony of an expert witness: the prophet Moses. The events, characters and patterns established in the Law are the foundation for the Prophets, and together these provide the context of this enigmatic final prophecy. The last book of the Bible cannot be understood without the first books of the Bible.
