When I was first exposed to end times studies,it was more about charts and wild speculations about current events. [ pre-mill days] Looking back on it there was not as much an emphasis on the Lord Jesus Christ.
From studying Hebrews I wandered into what I thought was the amill position ,which was much better and easier to "see" in the scriptures.
The emphasis was much more on Jesus as Lord, and King.
Upon re-examination of this I failed to understand that many of the men I thought were Amill, were in fact Postmill.
What I have come to understand ,and what has been a joyful aspect of these studies is that I use the vision and teaching from Revelation,1, 4, 5,19,20, to form a composite picture of Jesus the Prophet, Priest , KIng enthroned and worthy of all worship,adoration, and praise.
I see Revelation 4-5 along with Dan.7 as the place where are prayers are able to ascend to by virtue of Jesus mediation. He has passed through the heavens, and now we can come boldly and confidently to the throne.
I am not sure any of us have any real idea of how to really offer worship, or service , or even praise correctly at all. I often ask the Spirit to make acceptable my prayer.
When I read the portions in the book of Revelation, I try to allow John's description to be my eyes. I do not want to be so totally shocked when I depart this body that do not know what I am seeing.
REV.1-
Isa 6- John ,and Isaiah were both undone. I am sure it will be beyond what we can visualize.
Seeing Revelation as being more of an explanation of Jesus work as High Priest, and King, is so much better than speculating on demonic activity,and the heathen raging against His Kingdom.
