Q&A: How to read Revelation. Don't force interpretations — let unclear things sit. Read large amounts casually first. Notice "like" and "as" for symbolic language. Get Hollywood imagery out of your head. Don't answer every question on first read.

Common-sense approach: if it seems literal, take it literally; if symbolic ("like," "as"), take it symbolically. Read through without commentaries first. Don't force understanding of every detail. Purge movie-based expectations. Get the big picture before drilling into details.
