The book is the Revelation of Jesus. It ‘unveils’ Jesus in all His glory and majesty. Rather than being ‘too hard to understand’, as many would claim, we are expressly given the purpose of this book: “to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass”! (1:1). This tells us two things: 1) we are intended to understand; and 2) this book records in advance events that will take place in the future. This is not picture language or allegory.

Without this book the Bible would not be complete. As Genesis is the book of beginnings, so Revelation is the book of endings. If foretells the end of this order of things – i.e. the way the world is at present. It also foretells the end of Satan’s rule on planet earth, and the end of the false religious and political systems of the world. It clearly shows the destiny of the Church, the nation of Israel and of all unbelievers. It ties together all the Old & New Testament prophecies and leads us into eternity with Jesus enthroned as the universal KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
