The Book of Revelation gives rise to many questions for Orthodox Christians…
What are we to make of its strange symbols, such as 666 or the mark of the beast? Why don’t we read from Revelation in the services of the Orthodox Church? Are we living in the end times? Why don’t Orthodox Christians set dates for the end of the world but others do? Will Christ return to rule over the earth for 1,000 years? What about ‘the rapture’? If Revelation is prophecy, does it have any message for us today?
