Learning about the book of Revelation was very interesting to me. I had never read it before, and my only prior knowledge of it was that it described the end of times and what would happen. What was interesting to learn was the different kinds of interpretation of the book: preterits, historicist, futurist, and idealist. Personally, I feel like my interpretation would be idealist, that the book references to specific ideas and principles which can be related to any time in history. Another topic we covered in class was the…number. I don’t want to type it out. I never knew much about it other than it was a demonic number, but it was cool to see how different people’s names could somehow end up as the number. It was also cool to see that Dr. McGrath was not the antichrist, which gives me a sigh of relief.
