Revelations…where to start?

So I am trying to think about how to get started thinking about Revelations.  There are so many opinions to wade through, and seemingly so deeply held, too.

I just bought the Kindle version of Osborne’s commentary on Revelations. According to the reviews, Osborne takes an eclectic approach with some weight towards futuristic model.

This post by Ligonier Ministries explains the basic viewpoints (interpretive models) for understanding the book of Revelations, as does this post by Greg Herrick.  It was helpful for me to hear descriptions about the interpretive models most people use for understanding Revelations.  I think its important to be self-aware of your own explanatory model for a book like this.

I would love to hear your opinions on how to think about understanding Revelations.
