Revelation - "The Revelation of Jesus Christ"

Revelation - "The Revelation of Jesus Christ"

 Revelation is about Jesus. The Church was being planted around the Mediterranean and prospering in a few places. Rome held its firm grip. A wave of persecution had passed and another deluge was on their horizon. John, the prisoner and Apostle of Jesus, wrote (by inspiration of the Holy Spirit) to believers in conflict. Revelation is a picture book, not a puzzle book. We need to delight in its message not decode it.

He is the Lord among the lampstands, the slain Lamb standing, the Lion opening history, the Leader of God’s army, the Lover of His Bride, and the Light and Temple of God. Revelation shines with hope for the people of God from the first to final century. God rules history and is bringing it to His appointed end in Christ, for the good of His Church and the glory of His Name.
