This Sunday we begin our journey through The Book of Revelation. The word "revelation" means to uncover and unveil. It means to pull back a covering or a veil that is hiding something. It is a revelation of truth that man could never discover for himself. God Himself has drawn back the curtains and revealed mysteries to us and promised a special blessing to all who read and follow it. "Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book" Revelation 22:7.

This book is simply the great "Revealing" of Jesus Christ to his servants or followers. There are some things that God wants us to know, some things that we could never know if we were left on our own. It means that God cares about us, that He loves us enough to reveal these secrets to us. God cares so much about us that He has revealed a whole book of events to us. What are these events? They are events and truths that describe the victorious Christ, describe our current state and lay out a roadmap for the future events, particularly the end of the world.
