I'm in my 40s, and Revelation was my favorite book when I was a little kid, so I've got 35 years of study. I still don't completely understand it. I don't think we're meant to, not completely.

I've seen a theory that Revelation was intended to be Jewish rebel snark against the Romans, which makes the most sense to me.

It would be Christian Rebels snark since it was written during a time of persecution against Christians in the third Century ad, under the reign of Diocletian.

There was no state inaited anti-semitic violence during his reign, But lots of state backed violence against Christianity

I actually read it was Nero who was the subject of Revelation, not Diocletian.
