Revelation is the most difficult book in the Bible to understand and the most abused book because it was written in a literary style not familiar today. It begins as a letter to seven first century churches then includes prophecy and apocalyptic literature.
The goal of this study is to take some of the mystery out by understanding Revelation in culture and context. Yes, Revelation is a difficult book, but it is included in Scripture for a reason. Try to imagine a story without an ending. The overall theme to keep in mind is, “It is Done” and “God wins!”
Apocalypic writing was not intended to be taken literally because it is symbolic, but it was meant to be taken seriously, God’s message was clear.
- God will judge evil
- All things will be made right
- For all who accept Jesus as their Messiah, the future is secure
- Heaven is more wonderful that we can ever dream or imagine
Revelation is a book about, hope and encouragement and comes with a promise of blessing for all who read it and take it to heart.
Jesus IS coming soon – so be ready!!!
