Book of Revelation

What Revelation is not:

It is not meant to make followers of Jesus anxious.

It is not meant to predict EVERY single detail of the end times.

It is not meant to predict the exact hour of when Christ will return.

What Revelation is:

It is prophetic of Christ’s revealing Himself and returning in bodily form.

It is one of the most difficult texts to understand.

It is meant to give hope to Christians.

Revelation 1:1–3 (ESV)

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
