In today's reading Mr. White discusses how the Book of Revelation in the Bible has influenced writers through the ages. He discusses how the main theme of the book has been the plot used by many writers. He states that since "the influence of the book of Revelation on world literature is pervasive and profound, which is why writers should be familiar with it."
FOR FURTHER REFLECTION
In this portion White states that prophetic visions appears in all of the sacred texts of all religions and they have all influenced contemporary prophetic works. He further stated that the final battle in which the forces of good triumph over the forces of evil has become synonymous with nuclear holocaust. White feels that this is no accident. He also sated that the prophetic visions of sacred texts have greatly influenced contemporary prophetic works.
TRY THIS
Write a story in which two armies from two radically different cultures (or, if you like to write science fiction, two different planets) confront each other with the fate of a carefully guarded secret at state. What is the precious secret? Why are two mighty armies about to go to war over it? What will be the outcome? That is for you to decide.
This is another assignment that I will probably not work on any time soon. However, there has been an increased interest in recent year in prophetic writings of all kinds. Also a renewed interest in the book of Revelation and the biblical battle Armageddon.
