Book of Revelation is Story of Human History

hi! I happened to tune into a study of the book of revelation yesterday on the radio. These aLways drive me crazy!! Don't they realize Revelation, or its Greek name, “Apocalypse” (unveiling), is the story of the consummation of good and evil? Don't they realize that there's an absolute that underlies all logic? That God is Perfect, and Perfection makes NO mistakes? Adam and Eve, placed in and of the GARDEN PARADISE had eaten of the forbidden tree of the KNOWLEDGE of both good and evil, which fruit we are still chewing on, to this day. (Once thinking ability, thus choice, was endowed, a whole new world, or tree, of possibilities ‘came to be’.) In this final book of the Bible, the FRUIT OF THE EARTH is fully ripe, both goodness, and wickedness. John was a very old man, when Roman authorities banished him to an uninhabited island called “Patmos”. While he was there, the Lord Jesus showed him a great vision of how man’s world would end up. The visions of this book, like everything else God does, is highly dramatic and colorful! Believers are urged to read, listen to, and hear, the words of this little book – after the mighty crash of all things false, and a last great war of nations, Armageddon (with environmental woes as a precursor to these things) and after a 1,000 year Kingdom of our Lord's long second advent (of rebuilding paradise upon Earth) - the New Jerusalem (the new capital of the planet) comes down from heaven, onto the earth. It shines of jewels and gold, and the pure sparkling river of the water of life flows through it, to all the world, with trees of life on either side, which leaves and fruit will be for the total healing, and continued health of the nations. No eye will again cry from sorrow, there will be no sickness, suffering or death. The question of good and evil, right and wrong, what is life as opposed to what is death, has been answered for all time, and all citizens have it engraved deeply upon their very hearts and minds for all eternity and ages. To stray from Perfection/Life/God, is to stray away from the very “breath of life” and can only ever end in a self destructive puff of smoke... and dust and ashes. Elsewhere it says "eye has not seen, nor ear conceived, nor heart ever been able to fully imagine, all the good things God has created for those who love Him." What do you think? Do you think we humans can understand the book of revelations? Do you think it was written to one day be understood? What's needed to understand it?
