Chapter Thirteen Journal In the final chapter in the book, we get to explore my favorite book of the Bible, Revelation. It is a very unique blend of prophecy, letter and apocalyptic genres. Revelation’s apocalyptic nature is found in Old Testament prophetic literature of Daniel, Zechariah, Isaiah and Ezekiel. The apocalypses are usually in the form of literature that contains its own style. They are often presented in dream or visions combined with a symbolic language, filled with a fantasy feeling rather than reality. The way to exegete Revelation is simply look for the author’s intent. Finding its intrinsic clues or finding its original audience. Historical and literary context are two of the ways that are valuable to understanding Revelation.
