How should Revelation be studied?
Revelation should be studied by focusing on major events rather than proceeding verse by verse chronologically. Key events include the beginning, the appearance of the Antichrist, the appearance of the two witnesses, and the midpoint events such as the end and ascension of the two witnesses.
Les explains that when studying Revelation, instead of going verse by verse chronologically, one should take it by events. He identifies these events as the beginning, the appearance of the Antichrist, and the appearance of the two witnesses. Later, at the midpoint of the Tribulation, the events include the end of the two witnesses, their ascension, and the Antichrist coming in, probably from his headquarters in Europe, to desecrate and defile the Temple and turn on the nation of Israel. These are all midpoint events.
