Many people think Revelation is a hard book to understand, but they do not realize that almost ALL of Revelation is explained in other books of the Bible. This book will make sense of the chronological order and the intricate patterns that God uses throughout the Bible, showing clearly that Revelation is merely the final chapter in one great Book.
In fact, Revelation will give you a better understanding of Jesus' Parables, Creation, the Exodus, and even the Babylonian captivity. One will not be able to look at the Bible as just a group of Sunday school stories with a wise moral, but, instead, as a Divine blueprint of history and life's purpose. Instead of gloom and doom, comfort and joy stem from the hope found in this book.
For believers, our life on earth is as bad as it gets. For the unbeliever, this is their heaven, because this is as good as it will ever be.
