The mystery of the book of Revelation intrigues us, yet there is an incredible amount of misunderstanding and misinformation about it. How do you sift through all the false teaching and artistic liberties that pass for truth? You don’t. (Honestly, you really shouldn’t.) You need to go back to the WORD that God spoke and listen to Him—by studying it for yourself.
We are offering a series of blogs to help you walk through Revelation by means of expository teaching (the first ones just went up and the rest will follow daily, at least for awhile). While this is not meant to explain everything in the book (years can easily be spent studying this amazing letter) you will become acquainted with the main, plain things (which are much easier to see than you might have supposed!)
You see, God gave Jesus this revelation of the future—Jesus, in turn, sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John. John then testified to the WORD of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw, and wrote to the seven churches. (Revelation 1:1-2) Since God gave this to His Son to reveal to us the things which must soon take place, we absolutely know for certain we can understand this book!
So… why study the book of Revelation? Revelation inspires us in several ways. Understanding the book of Revelation prepares us to stand firm when the future happens (and it will happen very quickly), and it should give us a passion to tell others about the gospel of Christ now (so they can be saved from the wrath that is to come). And, as we learn about the things which must soon take place, we will be able to discern truth from error whenever we hear someone add to, or take away from, this WORD. We will be able to take a stand for the truth, and we will be able to warn others of false teaching.
