I'm sure the people of the first century understood it perfectly.
I see It is a great book of Prophecy, it is now unsealed and shows since Christ, that the Messages of Muhammad, the Bab and Baha'u'llah were foretold.

Yeah they wrote don't interpret.
That seems rather plain especially since it's written into the story, but today? Hahaha, skipped right over. A bit like trying to interpret Jung's red book. Good luck!

It is a very good book. It should be read along with Isaiah, and some other OT Books. Getting ready for a review of it now.
Except I see we have 3 Messages from God since Christ. Revelation tells of these Messages.

I go with the preterist view of Revelation..

Revelation tells us right up front that it is written to 7 existing congregations and that it will all happen within a generation, (40 years) What could be plainer?

I don't either.....
Who said to take all that in a literal way.
A generation could be the dispensation of Christ until Muhammad in 622, after all a day can be a year or even 1000 years.
It is not until Revelation 5 that another Lamb is found that is worthy to break the seals. That Lamb who was slain was the Bab and this was the birth of every tribe and Nation into the knowledge of our One God. The seals are now opened in Revelation 6.

No.. a generation is 40 years over and over again the Bible.. Like Moses and the Israelites were stuck in the desert for 40 years.
"Forty years" is mentioned in the Bible forty times. The number "forty" is mentioned in the Bible one hundred and forty-six times.
AND THE LORD’S ANGER WAS KINDLED AGAINST ISRAEL, AND HE MADE THEM WANDER IN THE WILDERNESS FORTY YEARS, UNTIL ALL THE GENERATION THAT HAD DONE EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, WAS CONSUMED-Num 32:13.
40 has significance in many ways.
Baha'u'llah's Revelation was from 1853 for 40 years. Also prophecy.
If Muhammad, the Bab and Baha'u'llah are fortold in Revelation, then one has to reconsider what generation is refering to.

What does Revelation say about Muhammed? That one stumps me.

It is the unveiling of Jesus return. A preview

apo-clipse is an uncovering
An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω, literally meaning "an uncovering") is
The Book of Revelations was one of many apocalyptic literature written in the time period, and by far most if not all are of unknown authorship. The vision probably related to different times in history, possibly the Roman world, and possibly prophetic visions of future progressive Revelations. It has always been open to interpretation throughout history.
