The final book of the Bible is Revelation, not Revelation"s". The meaning of the word revelation means "unveiling" or manifestation. Which means the book is the unveiling of our Lord Jesus Christ. The book was meant to be read as evidenced by Rev 1:3 "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." (NIV). It is given for our instruction and edification, plus, notice there is a blessing with the reading of the book.
Context: Written about 95 A.D. by the apostle John. John was given the information through Jesus. The purpose of the book is to reveal the full identity of Christ and to serve as a warning as well as provide hope to believers.
John was exiled to a small island called Patmos by the Roman authorities for continuing to preach the gospels and of Jesus risen.
My goal is to read, and study the book and to blog what I have discovered in hope of being a blessing to someone. Please read, study along, and comment I am open to what you think!
Many Blessings
Revelation is a tough text, full of symbol of mystery. Thanks for starting this conversation!
