As John writes to the early Church, those saints who were at that time suffering much for holding fast to the Name of Jesus, and they, like he, were watched closely by Rome. Much of the symbolism that John used to communicate the truths of Christ's rule and reign on earth and the subsequent effect that rule and reign would have on the empires of earth was incorporated as a means of a code to hide the true meaning so that his letter might be sent out and not kept by his captors. How then would first century Christian decode these letters? Well the first technique was to be a good student of the other sections of biblical apocalyptic literature (Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah, etc.) Christ would conquer the beast, Rome, all those who helped the beast, the false Jewish prophets of John's day, and the one known as 666. Decoding this, decoding Revelation, will help us interpret more accurately the meaning, but also live more faithfully in this world where Christ reigns as King.
