Yes—the book of Revelation is both relevant and understandable, according to Les Feldick's teaching.
Les says the book is 'as simple as ABC anymore' and that people who hear him teach it find it is not difficult because 'we are now so close to the end.' He points to current events—such as the whole world seeing the two witnesses' bodies—as proof the prophecies are becoming clear. He also explains that Revelation must be studied by isolating events and putting them in chronological order, rather than reading it as a simple verse-by-verse narrative.
Revelation 6:17 — This verse, which Les quotes, anchors the book's end-time wrath to a specific moment in the Tribulation, showing that Revelation contains identifiable prophetic timing.
Revelation 13:1 — This verse, which Les quotes, exemplifies Revelation's symbolic language and shows that its imagery refers to real world powers, making it understandable when studied.
In the teaching excerpts provided, the Scripture passages quoted aloud are Revelation 6:17 and Revelation 13:1. Revelation 6:17 says, 'For the great day of his wrath is come: and who shall be able to stand?' Revelation 13:1 says, 'And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.' These are direct prophetic declarations. They speak of a coming day of wrath and a symbolic beast that rises from the sea, showing that the book of Revelation uses concrete prophetic language about real end-time events.
Les Feldick teaches that the book of Revelation is both exciting and understandable. He says, 'the book of Revelation is as simple as ABC anymore,' and that people who have heard him teach it will admit 'it's not that difficult' because 'we are now so close to the end.' As an example, he reminds listeners that the idea of the whole world seeing the two witnesses' dead bodies in Jerusalem used to be hard to imagine, but with modern technology and current events it is no longer a question. Les is careful to explain that Revelation cannot be studied the way other Bible books are. It does not unfold chronologically; the reader must skip back and forth and watch the time factors. Les says the easiest way to understand it is 'to take it on a chronological basis rather than just chapter after chapter.' The Lord apparently designed it that way 'to make a study' — readers must isolate events and piece them together. Les also stresses the book's relevance. He says the whole book of Revelation is about the final seven years of God's dealing with the human race, and especially with Israel, and that its opening event will be the Antichrist's seven-year treaty with Israel. His weekly classes on Revelation, he notes, have drawn the largest attendance and the most excited response. This is not a book to avoid or dismiss; it is a prophetic book that can be understood and appreciated as the end approaches.
Les says it is. He describes the book as 'as simple as ABC anymore' and says anyone who has heard him teach it will admit it is not that difficult, because we are so close to the end. He uses the example of the two witnesses in Jerusalem: Scripture says the whole world will see their dead bodies. When Les first heard that, people wondered how that could happen; today, because of current events and modern communication, it is no longer a question. The evidence of current events makes the book's meaning clear.
Les explains that Revelation is totally different from most of Scripture. In Genesis, in the Gospels, or in Paul's letters, you can go verse by verse and chapter by chapter, and it unfolds chronologically. But in Revelation, that approach makes no sense. 'You've got to skip back and forth' and 'isolate the events and then piece them together.' The timing of each event is in the book, but the reader has to watch the time factors to see whether it is the first half, the middle, or the last half of the Tribulation. Les's goal is to clarify this for those who have never understood Revelation.
Les teaches that the book of Revelation is the unfolding of the final seven-year period that belongs to God's prophetic program. Since the church age has been sandwiched into history and the church will be gone, God will bring about that final seven years. Revelation is about God's dealing with the human race in general, but in particular with the nation of Israel. Its very opening event will be the appearance of the Antichrist, who will sign a seven-year treaty with Israel. This gives Revelation immediate relevance to end-time events.
Les says that in his weekly classes, the study of Revelation has always prompted the largest attendance and the most excited response. He is eager to get out of the Old Testament and into the prophetic material, and if the Lord tarries, eventually he will study Revelation verse by verse and chapter by chapter. For now, he is taking a glimpse as he moves through the Scriptures toward Matthew.
Revelation 4 & 5 Explained: The Throne Room & the Scroll
Hello, and welcome to Through the Bible with Les Feldick. An Oklahoma rancher and farmer, Les Feldick has been teaching homestyle Bible classes for 20 years in Iowa, Oklahoma, and Texas. Les Feldick's unique style of Bible teaching has made the books of the Bible come to life. When Les is teaching, it's so interesting that people say time just seems to fly by. And now, here is Les Feldick.
Revelation as Simple as ABC
Readers learn that from Les's perspective the book of Revelation is no longer difficult to understand because current events have caught up with its prophecies, such as the whole world seeing the two witnesses' bodies.
Chronological Approach to Revelation
Readers learn Les's practical method for understanding Revelation: take it on a chronological basis rather than chapter after chapter, because the book skips back and forth.
Timing God's Wrath
Readers learn that timing is part of understanding Revelation: the tribulation is only called God's wrath in the last three and a half years, as seen in Revelation 6:17.
Isolate Events, Not Verse-by-Verse
Readers learn why Revelation feels difficult at first—unlike Genesis or Paul's letters, it cannot be taught verse by verse; the reader must isolate events and piece them together.
Getting to Prophetic Truth
Readers learn that Les intentionally skips other Scriptures to reach the prophetic material of Revelation, showing how highly he values its end-time relevance.
Symbolism and Excitement
Readers learn that Revelation is a book of prophecy written in symbolism, such as the beast in Revelation 13:1, and that Les's classes respond to it with large attendance and excitement.
Revelation's Seven-Year Focus
Readers learn that Revelation is the unfolding of the final seven years of God's dealings, especially with Israel, beginning with the Antichrist's seven-year treaty with Israel.
Revelation 6:17: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Les quotes this verse to show how Revelation uses timing language and that the wrath of God is tied to the latter half of the Tribulation.
Revelation 13:1: And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Les quotes John's vision to show Revelation's symbolic prophecy and identifies the beast with Daniel's beast, the Roman Empire.
No, according to Les Feldick. He says the book is 'as simple as ABC anymore' and that it is not difficult because we are so close to the end. Understanding it requires seeing how the events fit together, not simply reading it chapter after chapter.
Les recommends taking it on a chronological basis. Since Revelation does not unfold chronologically, you have to skip back and forth, watch the time factors, and isolate events to piece them together.
Les points to current events as proof—things like the whole world seeing two bodies in Jerusalem are no longer unthinkable. He also says Revelation is about the final seven years of God's dealings with Israel, a period that is still future and is approaching quickly.
Not yet. He says a verse-by-verse study of Revelation will come later if the Lord tarries. For now, he is taking a chronological look at its prophetic events because he believes that is the easiest way to understand it.
