Before I continue it is important for us to remember that with much of the book of Revelations being a vision, much of what we see has to be seen with the eyes of interpretation.
Just as Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. So must the Daniels of our age rise up and interpret dreams and visions. Part of that gift of interpretation will not only be used for fresh dreams and visions, but also be used to open up the Revelations for the end of the age that have already been recorded long ago.
There are some that believe dreams and visions were just for a certain time and that these things have ceased since we now have Christ with us. I believe that this is not biblically sound. I believe scripture bears out that in these ends times there will be a continuation even and increase in dreams and visions!
Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
If we are still having visions and dreams then the need for interpretation is still here.
In the book of Daniel God said that his visions (which mirror Johns in Revelation) would be sealed up unto the end of the age. I believe we are arriving there and since we are at the place where these things are to unfold , the need for understanding in visions and dreams is here too. It is time for The "Daniels" of our age to rise up.
This is why I am not looking at the Book of Revelations like I would any other book in the Bible. It is a prophecy, full of symbols that need to be interpreted. If you expect to find only “literal” interpretations, then you will not be satisfied with what I have to say.
