Ever wondered about the different numbers in the book of Revelation? Should we be scared of the number 666? In this episode, we talk about how to interpret the various numbers used in the book of Revelation and we answer questions about symbolic vs literal meanings.

In this episode, we dive into some listeners' questions about Revelation and end times such as "What is the rapture", "What happens when we die", and "Why bother learning about the different views of Revelation, isn't it enough to know that we can have hope in Christ?"

This episode picks up from our last discussion on the book of Revelation, where we introduced a variety of perspectives and interpretive frameworks for understanding its structure. Now, we answer the big question: How does First City Church interpret Revelation?

First City Church is currently in a sermon series on the book of Revelation. Given the book’s complexity and controversy, a sermon can only cover so much. That’s why we thought it would be helpful to dive deeper and discuss the different interpretive frameworks people use to understand Revelation.
