Product Description
The book of Revelation remains one of the most popular and mysterious books of the Christian canon. The modern reader of John's prophetic book is often lost by its strange images of dragons, beasts, plagues, and fires. If they read Revelation only to help them search the latest headlines for news of the End Times, they will miss what is the real blessing intended for those who read and study its verses. Although Revelation speaks of the arrival of the Antichrist, the mark of the beast, and the final alignments of world powers that will usher in the closing battle of Armageddon, these events only supply the scenery for the real content of John's apocalyptic vision. "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" is the true content of John's book. The glory of the risen Christ is discovered in the book's opening verses and is reinforced in every chapter. Jesus Christ is the central figure of Revelation and every event that John describes revolves around Him. The true worth of Revelation is not found by unveiling future events but is found in the present: "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near..." Revelation 1:3
