Symbolic Language, Historiography, and the Revelation

If you’re befuddled by the Book of Revelation in the Bible, don’t fret. Reading the Book of Revelation can be challenging — the storyline twists and turns and isn’t strictly chronological. The author of the series “The Revelation Revealed in 3D” attempts to put the entire book of Revelation in the proper chronology using historiography.


Book 1 is an Introduction to the book of the Revelation. An Introduction also to the concept of historiography and to the four major interpretations of the Revelation as well as symbolic language and the rules that apply to symbolic interpretations.


In a nutshell, historiography is the history of history. Rather than subjecting actual events - say, Hitler’s annexation of Austria - to historical analysis, the subject of historiography is the history of the history of the event: the way it has been written, the sometimes conflicting objectives pursued by those writing on it over time, and the way in which such factors shape our understanding of the actual event at stake, and of the nature of history itself.


In three-dimensional slide shows, Dr. Rhymes offers a transcription of the seven letters and later describes strange beasts, visions of judgments, governments, demonic battles, heaven, and a new world order, and a prophetic vision for the end of the world. Even through all of this there is a clear structure that makes sense.
