Our Verse: Rev 1:1 This is a revelation (a revealing) from Jesus Christ...

The Bible's final part, Revelation, “reveals” Jesus Christ. He is the center. We are given the details by one of Jesus closest friends, John. He is lifted from an island off the coast of Turkey and transported into God's throne room. Amazing as it sounds, that's just what happened. God gave us a peek into His personal Room so we could know about it. Revelation, the book, is about things that will happen to all mankind before God changes the world from man's rule and authority to His.

Here are the basics to get you started:
God describes how man has worshipped Him, both right and wrong, thru the ages.
He describes how the world will unite to rule themselves. No God for us please!

He describes the government that will form in the final days of earth's history. Then He describes it's demise and that of it's structure and leaders.

Revelation describes a world gone berserk because God is gone from it. It will be a very dangerous and scary time for all people. Many parts of the book are echoed in the ancient books of Daniel, Ezekiel and Zechariah. Much that Jesus taught while on earth is connected to events in this book.

Finally, the book describes a brand new time for planet Earth. A day will arrive when Jesus actually appears on the earth at Jerusalem and assumes royal authority over the entire planet. He will bring in an era of peace unlike anything we humans have ever known. The entire absence of war. The entire absence of violence, by animals and men. The world will be entirely cleansed of all things bad, both physical and spiritual.

It's all there. Written in the first Century, Revelation has stood the test of time. Parts of it have already occurred, parts of it are yet to occur. It is a story of grim future events and a bright forever future for all who put their trust in God, our Creator. Get ready, it is coming. We don't know when, just that it truly is!

Ask God for wisdom, dive in! He will lead as you read!
