Is it possible to understand the book of Revelation?

I don't actually mean to constantly post these videos, BUT this one is of special significance, so I apologize if it's not "your kind of thing" to do... but I do believe SOME of my followers will enjoy it!


The book of Revelation has always been dear to me, and I've always enjoyed whatever I've been able to learn more about it over the years. This video study is just a bare introduction.

My family was privileged to help with the footage for this one — for example, you will see my "middle" daughter near the beginning reading the Book in candlelight, and that clip was shot by my other daughter, as were several others.

SUMMARY provided by author:
In today's world, multitudes of people are writing, teaching, preaching, and talking about the Book of Revelation. It seems there are almost as many interpretations as there are people discussing the book. A majority of preachers seem to indicate that it's difficult to know what many parts of the book refer to, and impossible for anyone to know for sure what the truth really is in that very special and unusual book. Our pastor has spent more than 120,000 hours of his life studying the scriptures, and in particular studying the book of Revelation as it is interpreted by the rest of the Bible. He believes strongly that no interpretation can ever be considered right, unless every symbol used in the book is interpreted by the Bible itself.

The approach in this introduction (first chapter in a lengthy series that will be produced over time) to Revelation is to try to begin to prove, using the book itself, that the book of Revelation is built upon analogies and symbols which are used throughout the scriptures, but sometimes hidden at first glance. Our goal in presenting this study is to get the viewer to begin to consider if indeed the book IS allegorical, or if it is to be taken literally as so many believe. That truth CAN be found in the book of Revelation itself, if we consider carefully what it has to say to us. The Revelation study video episodes will not be short, as it's not a book that you can just explain in a short period of time. Yet, for those who are sincerely desiring to find the way to complete understanding of its pages, we hope that this video series will be meaningful and helpful!!!

Meaning of factors in multiplication: four groups of 2, or 4 taken two times?

Someone asked me about the interpretation or meaning of the two numbers in multiplication, such as 4 × 2. Do you view it as four groups of 2 , or as four, taken two times ? Here's their question: "...I noticed that your explanation about how to interpret a math phrase, such as 4 × 2, is different from how I have understood it and taught it to my older daughter who was using RightStart Math at this level. Let me explain:  I see that you are using the first factor to denote number of groups and the second factor tells how many are in each group (4 × 2 would be interpreted 4 groups of 2).  On the other hand, I have taught and thought of it reversed, with the first factor telling how many are in each group and the second factor telling you how many groups (4 × 2 would be 4 taken 2 times).  I know that the difference in explanations does not ultimately change the product, but I am wondering what you thoughts are.  When I conceptually picture what I'm doing I see i...

Geometric art project: seven-circle flower design

Image
I got inspired by the blogpost Art School | Geometric Design with Islamic Art where Deborah shows how to make a neat flower design with seven circles , using a compass, and then coloring it using 2, 3, or 4 colors (or however many of your own). I think it ties in neatly with mathematics, and lets students practice drawing circles with a compass.  My girls loved the art/math project. Here are pictures they made: Here are step-by-step instructions for the flower design: 1.  Draw a line and a circle so that the circle's center point is on the line. Then mark the points where this circle intersects the line. 2. Use those points as center points, and draw two more circles. The radius is the same all the time, so make sure you don't change it on your compass!We used 5 cm as the radius, and that made the whole design fit neatly on a regular letter size paper. 3. Now note the two points marked in the picture. They will be used as center points in the next...
