In this episode of Quest 4 Truth, Doug Hamp and Rob Skiba tackle Revelation 1 together. How should we read Revelation? Who are we in Christ? Who are the 7 Churches? Who are the ones in Revelation 1:7 who pierced Christ, and will see Him when He comes on the clouds? What’s up with Longinus, Cartaphilus, Ahasuerus and the Spear of Destiny? Are there immortals among us or is the text simply talking about the Jews and/or Romans? And what about the Alpha and Omega (Aleph and Tav in Hebrew)? Is Revelation 1:8 giving us a clue to understanding the Hebrew of Zechariah 12:10, or is the Aleph-Tav not really a representation of Christ at all? Find out as we continue on a quest for truth.

Rob, you often refer to "extra Biblical sources" such as the Book of Enoch. However, isn't Catholics who decided what was "Biblical" and what was not? Such as the council of Nicea, King James.etc? According to the Hebrews, these books were important. Why do we consider something cannon or not cannon without considering who made those decisions? Thanks.
The last bit is what is known as a strawman argument by Doug. Yeshua never called Himself a donkey or of. Seriously Doug, you often make Rob's points for him.
This Q4T would be so much better without Dougs arrogance and puffed up pride in his own knowledge. Sometimes your education can make a fool out you. Its possible you're holding on to old & outdated interpretations. We should always be open to what the Holy Spirit has to teach us even when it contradicts the traditions of men. Doug gives me the impression of old wine skin. He knows what he knows and refuses to let go. Glad he's not my pastor is all I'm saying.
Why did the High Priest sprinkle blood on the Mercy Seat every year ?
