First, let me say that I’m a huge proponent of Bible Scripture interpreting Bible Scripture. I believe that is the surest, most sound way to interpret Scripture without compromising sound Bible doctrine. With that goal in mind, I have put together a list of scriptures to help analyze, interpret, understand, and study the book of Revelation. I hope this helps your study of Revelation as much as it has helped mine. The printable pdf is right below.
