Understanding Revelation - The Bible Brief

The book of Revelation is probably the most misunderstood book in the New Testament. We often treat it like a code book or Nostradamus's writings, but Lori Denning and Maclane Heward explain what's really going on in John's vision - it has nothing to do with codes and everything to do with hope.
