The Mystery, parts 1 and 2, would be a good precursor (to this video). In the order of viewing, this video should be third, after Mystery parts 1 and 2. The Seven Thunders is not a traditional view of Revelation. Van begins by sharing some of the basic interpretations of Revelation. "This is a spiritual book with lots of 'types and shadows' that need to be understood to fully resolve the purpose of the book." To accommodate this, Van says, "We let the Bible define the Bible. The types find their foundation in other places." The Seven Thunders has a 26-page dictionary that defines these types and their location in the Bible.
