Question from a reader: I am reading If God is Good.  On page 155, Randy implies that the 'war in Heaven' in Revelation 12:7 is past (he uses the word "accomplished").  This seems to jive with the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 where He says He "saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven." Some writers place the Rev. 12:7 'war in Heaven' as yet in the future. Which is it? Past event or a future event?

There are many symbolic references to seas in scripture. In your book Heaven you seem to indicate there is a literal interpretation for “seas” in Revelation. Can you explain this?

“Paradise” in the original language means something like, “a beautiful, manicured, park-like ‘garden.’”

Good general book on Bible prophecy, includes Revelation but also other portions of Scripture; from a dispensational framework, like Joel Rosenberg’s The Last Days.

"When [the Lamb] opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, 'How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?' Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed" (Revelation 6:9-11).
