I'll admit that I used to hate reading Revelation.  It seemed so confusing.  I couldn't tell what was literal and what was figurative.  I felt like I didn't get much out of reading it (although I still did because I read the whole Bible).  Now I am a bit obsessed with it.  I am realizing more and more of it is literal.  Things that didn't make any sense or seemed impossible are now so possible.  World alliances are lining up.  Technology is enabling the things described.  Things that John didn't have words to explain now exist and are in use.  I'm so interested in Revelation now.  It is my new obsession (previously Genesis).

Jesus is the Alpha and Omega.  I've put a little extra effort into studying the Alpha (Genesis which is the foundation of the Scriptures) and the Omega (Revolution is the conclusion and goal).
