The book of Revelation was intended to bless its readers and provide practical instruction and encouragement to the churches of John’s day and ours. Wading through fear-inspiring symbolism and the harsh reality of God’s final judgment, the book is meant to bring an unshakable confidence and anchor to Christ’s people in perilous times. Christ the conquering King, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world consummates the kingdom He inaugurated with His life, death, resurrection, and ascension. As the New Heavens and New Earth await, we fix our gaze upon our Christ- the Victorious One.
