Revelation and Canon Again

It is interesting to talk about how the beast is an allusion to the past. I had not read the book of Revelation, so it was interesting to read about the interpretations of it. It is interesting to read about Jacqueline Hidalgo’s ideas on the book of Revelation. She talks about how it really is a critique and interest in the Roman empire. It was interesting to discuss in class how the book is thought to be about the anti-Christ for some people. There is a weird stigma around the book, and it makes sense why. Most people think the book of Revelation is about the end of humanity, so they are scared by the book.
