*NOTE:*  John Wesley despaired of ever understanding the book of Revelation,
until he read the works of the great "Bengel!"



Daniel Juster had doubts if he would ever understand the book of Revelation
sufficiently to teach it, until God drew near one day he was having his
devotions – and gave him the Old Testament key to understand the last New
Testament book. In five minutes He laid out a seven point outline based on
the Old Testament Passover and Crossing the Red Sea.



Out of the 66 books of our Bible, this is the only one for which God
promises a blessing for the reading and the hearing.



In "Visions Beyond the Veil" by H.A. Baker, former little orphans and
beggars from Kunming, China – like Paul visited Paradise and the Third
Heaven, and angels explained to them the deeper meaning of their questions.
In a sense the missionaries sat at the feet of these little teachers and
learned from them what they never understood in seminary!



God revealed to Ivan Panin through His numerical structure of the Bible –
the five sections of this book, and the very sentence structure,
sub-paragraphs, paragraphs and sections on which it is laid out.



Even though we do not fully understand it, don't fail to read and listen to
it anyway – for there is a blessing attached to these two methods of
approaching it.



The first 3 verses of this book are Section I. Section II ends with the 7
churches of Asia. Section V, the last one, is the last verse!



May the Lord then bless us each one as we obey His command and exhortation
to read and hear the words of this prophecy!
