Interpreting Revelation and End Time Prophecies

Fundamentalist Baptist approach to reading the book of Revelation was Talmudic, focusing on numerology and linking it to Hebrew prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah. In fundamentalist Christianity, there is no distinction between Old Testament texts and the book of Revelation; they are read literally and side by side. The end time prophecies were significant, with references to Gog and Magog as Russia and Iran, leading to the return of Jesus Christ as king. This interpretation is also reflected in Allen Ginsburg's poetry.
