Revelation is steeped in Jewish Allegory and "code". To understand Revelation properly, one must have been present and part of the 7 churches that John was writing too.Only if one gets taught truth. Explain to us what the 7 headed beast with 10 horns is and the 2 horned beast of Rev 13? Using other scriptures.
Instead, Christians today mistakenly ascribe Revelation to some unknown future occurence while ignoring the time stamp that John clearly states in the very first few lines in Revelation 1:1, These things must soon take place. We can try and use interpretational gymnastics to make Revelation fit our timeline, or some future timeline, but here we are, 2000 years later, every single man and or woman who has tried to interpret a future date has been wrong.
Instead, the meaning is there, inside the scripture. If the beast is first century reality, what or who is it. Not only does scripture help you understand but so does history. John is absolutely tell you the first century Christians of the coming apocalypse. And in his telling, he uses metaphor and allegory that would be easily understood by Jews. And History confirms the absolute destruction that came to Christians and Jews alike at the hands of the Roman empire and Nero.
