How can one support your view what the truth is or not is, if you do
not bring forth your evidence that Elana Janson’s interpretation is
misleading or that her work is deceitful. Speak up !
How these books could have serious negative consequences for its
readers is not clear.
Elana Janson has stated, so many times (…and in my opinion
sometimes too fundamentally) that, the only serious consequence
exists for those that do not adhere to a believe in the truth of God the
Father, his Son, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and those that are responsible
for the erosion of Jesus’ and the Holy Spirit’s ministry, essentially a
message of love and truth, either knowingly or through sheer
ignorance.
A message of this nature and one that is done in such an extensive
manner is a weighty one and one that only a fool will take on lightly or
criticize lightly for that matter.
The sad truth more aptly is that the majority of people in the world
does not know or don’t really give a damn of what is said in Revelation
from a spiritual perspective. Most interest in Revelation, (…. maybe
fortunately, as nobody, otherwise would have paid attention) are
generated by a greedy fascination of the supernormal or the prophetic
mysterious symbolic nature of this book that has implications for
human nature and the natural world.
If a woman on the southern tip of Africa, decides to write about
Revelation after many years of intense study, and as she states, under
a divine guidance and order and not as personal whim, one has to take
it seriously, especially if you believe that John has indeed written this
book as a result of a divine vision.
In answer to your quote of scripture:
2 Rev 26,28,29
”To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end.
They will have the same authority I received from my father and I will
also give them the morning star. Anyone with ears to hear must listen
to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. "
