Why Study the Book of Revelation?
Posted: August 1, 2011 Filed under: End-Times Leave a comment »The Book of Revelation gives us one of the greatest revelations of Jesus Christ. The bibles is made up of 66 books, and every book has something to say about who God is, and what He is like. This book contains some of the most descriptive passages of Jesus in all of scripture.
There is a special blessing for those who read, hear and keep the prophecies written in this book (Rev. 1:3). There are eighteen descriptions of Jesus in chapter 1 alone, and six further descriptions in chapter 2-3. I would mention them, but why do the mining for you? This is your opportunity to search it out for yourself. And you’d want to. These descriptions give tremendous insight into the God whom we have given all of our love and lives to- and these descriptions will only serve your heart in deepening that love. Through the “lens” of this book we clearly see Jesus as Bridgeroom, King and Judge. We are able to (in advance) understand God’s character lest we be offended in how He deals with sin, and His process in making all “wrong things right” at His Second Coming. The Book of Revelation reveals the leadership of Christ. How much He hates sin, how He deals with it, and how He fights for the ones He loves- the Church.
This book contains very specific events, in a specific window of time. These events involves you, your children, and should the LORD tarry- your children’s children. It reveals what is coming and how to prepare. It reveals the story line that we all find ourselves in. The Book of Revelation is the end-time Book of Acts and our prayer manual for the coming storm.
The bible was made to be applied to our lives. Let us not waste the understanding and insight we gain through this book. Not only will it strengthen our love for Jesus, but it will give us a roadmap on how we are to live in this transitional generation before the Lord returns.
