For me... reading Revelation has been a profound experience. One doesn't just read it like a chapter in Tom Sawyer, you have to go back and unpeel the layers and the images and the symbolism. But when it unfolds it's beautiful. 
I can't describe fully how comforting it is having gone through this process. From Chapter 1 through chapter 7, if you read it and understand what is before you, that's all you need to know! Seriously! It's all there in a very big picture format. 
Remember, the scroll with these seven seals has been here since the beginning. We were waiting for Jesus to arrive to be able to open it. The seals clearly have a historical context, and I was tempted to stop with the history and move on to End Times after seal 4 - but after reading and re-reading, I'm seeing that these seals cover The ENTIRE BIBLICAL STORY! 
As I was reading, I was weighed down by interpretations that didn't sit right with me... but I was accepting them because I had no better interpretation. Then, well, you keep going! You wrestle with the text and the context and if you pay close enough attention, it all comes out plain as day. 
This podcast will walk you through that. Ultimately the message is - Don't skip over or skim the first seven chapters. I know, you want to get to the epic center but quite honestly, if you believe what's about to unravel, you'll want to know from where you'll be watching it unfold. And you'll want to rest in the comfort of knowing.
