John's Apocalypse

Two things confound and confuse most of us: our dreams and the book of Revelation. However, people remain fascinated with both. This study tackles both subjects. The book of Revelation is a vision, a dream, yet it is most often interpreted as if it were a piece of consciously created literature. One should never attempt to decipher a dream or vision by purely rational methods; rather, the dream needs to be approached as poem, art, and mythic story. In this book you will learn a means of understanding your dreams and then apply this to approaching a renewed view of the book of Revelation. ""It has been said every generation over the past one thousand years has sought to unlock the Book of Revelation's meaning. What is different about this approach is that Isaacs combines his biblical scholarship with that of a clinical psychologist, and examines John's vision through dream analysis and human development. He examines the numerous symbols in the Book of Revelation through the lens of dream interpretation. An insightful and a fresh analysis of this mysterious book, culminating in union with God and a transformed life."" --John Handley, Director, SFA Galleries School of Art T.
