    First, since the Apocalypse is scripture, I give it the same respect and
    attention that I give to the other books in the Bible. I do not have the
    same respect for what people say the scripture says, for confusing the
    two nearly scuttled my faith. Second, "eisegesis" is reading into a text
    what one wants to find, as "exegesis" is extracting from the text what is
    there.
