Ever feel like Revelation is written in a different language? Jen Wilkin thinks the problem isn't the book; it's that we've lost our Old Testament literacy. The early church heard it once and got it. We've got charts, timelines, and still can't agree on what it means. Jen unpacks why our confusion reveals more about our Bible literacy than we'd like to admit, and how reading Revelation the way it was meant to be read changes the whole thing.
