Why is Revelation the End?
There is no specific order to how the bible was written. Most of the books do not even look the same as they appear in the order they are. The times that they were written were very different. It begins with Genesis and it ends another place. It ends in Chapter 2 the verses of 20 and 21.
The book of revelation is the bible blueprint because it shows what Our Heavenly Father was to have take place, and all we need to know from him.
It is the last book because you do not need anything else, everything you need to know from Our Heavenly Father is in the bible. All you need to do is read and study it. Also because it is the end times, which we are in now, it was put as the last book.
Genesis 1:1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Revelation 2:20-21 2:20Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
2:21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling
10 things you need to know about the book of Revelation.
1. Revelation is not hard to understand.
Revelation is a book that many people avoid, convinced that it is too hard to interpret and understand. Certainly there are some challenges to rightly interpreting some of its vivid imagery and plentiful symbolism. It is a genre of literature (apocalyptic) that is unfamiliar to most of us, which requires that we develop some skills for reading it.
2. Revelation is not primarily about the future.
Revelation was written to teach believers in the first century, and every century since then, to live out bold allegiance to Christ as they/we wait for the King of Kings to come and establish his kingdom on earth in all of its glorious fullness. It shows us what God has done in the past, is doing in the present, and will do in the future to preserve and protect his people, destroy his enemies, and renew his creation.
3. Revelation enables us to view reality from heaven’s perspective.
The book of Revelation is John’s record of a series of visions that he was given and instructed to write down for us. Through this record of his visions, we get to see the realities of heaven and earth from the perspective of heaven. Apart from this divine revelation, we’re limited to what we can see with our eyes and perceive with our senses.
4. Revelation contains lots of sevens, including seven beatitudes—seven statements regarding what it means to be blessed. And the picture of the person who is truly blessed presented in Revelation is completely counter-intuitive. What many in our day consider to be the blessed life—a life of comfort and ease, a life filled with material things—is not true blessedness.
5. Revelation provides us with pictures of Christ that are different from the Gospels.
In the Gospels we get to see Jesus as he was when he took on human flesh and lived in this world for 33 years as a human being. Of course, Jesus is still a human being. He is the first resurrected, glorified human being. But he won’t be the last! Jesus reigns now on the throne in heaven as the one who is worthy to oversee the unfolding of history. Revelation helps us to see him as the glorious king who is going to come again as a divine warrior who will judge his enemies and set things right in his world.
6. Revelation helps us to evaluate the character and content of our worship.
John was invited to see into the heavenly throne room where the triune God is worshiped in the way he is worthy of. His record of his vision in Revelation invites us to see and hear the angelic hosts of heaven—the people of the earth, and even all the creatures of earth, joining together in thunderous worship and celebration.
7. Revelation is a call to patient endurance of suffering for our bold allegiance to Christ.
John addresses his letter to his “partners in the tribulation, the kingdom, and the patient endurance that are in Jesus.” There is tribulation that is inherent to living as a citizen of heaven in the kingdom of the world that hates and wants to silence the word of Christ. If the first recipients of this letter were going to stay faithful to Christ in the midst of persecution, and if we are going to stay faithful to Christ in the midst of marginalization or persecution, we need patient endurance.
8. Revelation is a call away from the world’s acceptance, influence, and affluence.
When we read the letters to the seven churches in chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation, we realize that not all of the seven churches are facing the immediate threat of persecution. Some of them are instead facing the threat of comfort and compromise that will insure that comfort. If they go with the flow of the trade guilds and make sacrifices to the pagan gods, their income and acceptance in the community won’t be threatened.
9. Revelation invites us to celebrate—rather than be embarrassed by—the wrath of God.
Our modern world is all for a God of love. But it doesn’t really know what to do with a God of wrath. Many would like to purge God’s reputation and reality of wrath. But Revelation won’t let us do that. Instead, it invites us to sing along with the saints in heaven a song that celebrates wrath of God as a demonstration of his perfect justice and righteousness.
10. Revelation brings all the storylines of the Bible to a beautiful resolution.
When we get to the end of the book of Revelation, we’ve also come to the end of the Bible. And what we find is a fitting conclusion. The divine author has written a number of themes into his book that find their beginning in the first chapters of Genesis, develop throughout the history, wisdom, and prophets, and come to a climax in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Special comment:
Just want to point out something interesting. The number 3 means the trinity, which is Our Heavenly Father, Jesus, the son, and The Holy Spirit. In this lesson there was only 3 verses. This is the Holy Spirit’s way about getting across the questions that were asked to us.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father we pray that this will answer all questions about the book of Revelation that we have been given. That they also understand between the lessons we taught before and this. We pray that between both this will help them understand and that they can read it for themselves, and that Jesus and The Holy Spirit will also help them understand. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Prayer of Salvation to become a child of Our Heavenly Father. Lord Jesus, I confess my sins and ask for your forgiveness. Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
