How does Larson explain what Peter and GBHinckley said about Joel 2? Does he understand fulfilled prophecy enough to tell us what unfulfilled prophecy is about? Does Larson opine that any part of the 6th seal (Rev 6:12-17) has been fulfilled? Just curious.SkyBird wrote:I think the closest author to understanding "the language of the Jews" besides John the Revelator and Joseph Smith is Anthony Larson (LDS Author) of "The Plainest Book: Revelation" not available .. out of printCarlos wrote: To me the Joel prophecy has nothing to do with the 6th/7th seal debate. Peter saw the elements of Joel's fulfillment almost 2000 years ago, Hinckley also saw the elements of Joel's fulfillment in the events of the restoration.
I am concerned that people who have no clue as to what Joel was prophesying insist on knowing precisely what Revelations is about. They deny that Hinckley knew what he was declaring and then go on to explain the complexities of Rev with overlap and literal hogwash.

Excellent book describing the imagery and symbolism of the Book of Revelation... best I have seen anywhere! My favorite was "Opening the 7th Seal" by Draper. A great overview of what lots of scholars have thought over the centuries.
According to Reed C. Durham

We are living in the latter part of the 6th Seal.
Reed C. Durham was right...in 1973 we were in the latter part of the 6th seal. That was 28 years before 2001. How is that part of the mix?
