What is the Book of Revelation about?

One thing is for certain, the Book of Revelation is not what you may think it is. To demonstrate this, we will examine Rev 17:10 , 11 in light of the genealogies of Genesis to show the nature of a beautiful riddle which speaks of Christ.

Re 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

We will examine them in light of the Genealogies in Genesis

As you read the genealogies:

2. Who lived? Who did not live?

3. Which names appear in both lists?

4. What do the names mean? Particularly of the ones on both lists.

5. Of the names in Cains list, How many have name representing an animal?

6. What do donkeys represent in metaphor?

How many generations?
