I was walking along with Dad sometime during the late 1950s and a question came to my mind. I asked, “Dad, why does a female dog need a male dog to have pups?” He immediately went into a long drawn out explanation about this phenomenon. After listening to him for some time, I figured that he didn’t know either.
Some information about life is for the present and some is for later. That is also true in the Word of God:
John 12:16
His disciples didn’t understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him.
My personal belief is that much of the Book of Revelation is to be understood at a future time. We can appreciate most of it now; however, speculation about the rest is like Dad explaining reproduction to an eight-year-old.
Give it some thought.
