Spring 2014: Revelation—The Last Word

The last book of the Bible is unlike any other book in the Bible. Filled with images of dragons, ten-headed monsters, angel armies, mysterious numbers, and plagues of cosmic proportions, it requires a sanctified imagination to understand it properly! Though many assume the book is a kind of crystal ball to help chart out the sequence of end time events, this study takes a different approach. John writes as a pastor. His desire is to help the believers in the churches of Asia both survive and thrive as they live in the evil empire of first century Rome. This book is perhaps the greatest work on pastoral theology ever written! Though John’s words certainly point to the final future victory of the Lamb, they are profitable today for all believers everywhere. Revelation invites us not only to decipher a code but also to trust in the Lamb! “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” Revelation 1:3
