Why study the book of Revelation? ?
?In The Book of
Revelation (the Smart Guide to the Bible series) by Daymond R. Duck
and Larry
Richards, this question was asked, and here are some
of the reasons they gave:
Revelation is the Word of God (the Bible)
Jesus told us to watch for signs of things to come
Revelation is about Jesus
Revelation reveals God’s plan for the future
Revelation will give us a concern for those who reject God and His Son, Jesus
God has a message for you, and it is in Revelation;
but there’s a catch! You must read and study Revelation in order to receive
the message. If you will do this, God has promised to bless you (Rev 1:3).
PROPHECY: What is it? Prophecy is what God says
about things to come. During biblical times, God spoke to certain folk,
called prophets, and shared various aspect of His plans with them; and
these prophets recorded or wrote down His plans. Some of these writings became
part of The Bible. The portions of these writings that dealt with God’s
future plans are called prophecy. Although prophecy can be found in almost
every book of the bible; when most people think of biblical prophecy, they
usually think of the books of Revelation and Daniel first. During this
study, the focus will certainly be on the book of Revelation; however, we
will reference several other books (especially the book of Daniel). During
this course, we will study and explore aspects of prophecy such as: The
Rapture; The Second Coming; The Tribulation Period; The Unholy Trinity; The
Millennium; and many other aspects of prophecy.
Much symbolism can be found in the Book of
Revelation! Most folk who are knowledgeable of the bible will agree that
the study of Revelation can be challenging and somewhat difficult to
understand; however, just like other books in the bible, you don’t need a
Ph. D. to understand this book. Just as you pray and study and ask God to
reveal the meanings of other scripture that you study; if you pray and
study and ask God to reveal the meanings from Revelation to you, He will do
so. So, notwithstanding the challenges of reading and studying Revelation, all
students are welcome to attend this study. If you are just beginning to
study the bible, I personally would not recommend that you begin your study
with Revelation; however, in considering that God has promised a
blessing for all who will read or hear the words of the prophecy of
Revelation, and keep the things written in it, all are welcome.
