How To Read Apocalyptic Literature In The Bible by jamesid29(m): 10:24am On Aug 08, 2020
Usually when a major event shocks the world like the rise of the 3rd Reich and the second world war or the current Covid-19 pandemic, we usually try and find meaning and solace in apocalyptic literatures like parts of the book of Daniel, the book of Revelation, parts of Ezekiel etc (popularly known as end time scriptures).
Problem is, these books are usually misunderstood and misinterpreted because of the heavy symbolisms and language used in them which are unfamiliar to us. Below is a very short and interactive video on how to read these types of literature more accurately.

Its a pretty good introductory video for most people.
For anyone who wants to take a deeper dive into how to read these books better (especially for those in pastoral ministry), there are some really good resources out there that can help.
I.e https://www.logos.com/guides/commentaries/best-commentaries-revelation and a host of others.

Hope this helps.
