Revelation
What comes to mind when the book of Revelation is mentioned? The rapture? Judgment, the Four Horsemen, or perhaps 666? Or even the Second Coming, the Antichrist, or Heaven? People have an emotional reaction to the book of Revelation. Some say it's scary while others believe it's confusing.
Revelation is the one book people want to hear ''preached on'' the most and it's the one book pastors love to avoid! When considering the book of Revelation and the end of times, some of us think about the Left Behind series (which sold an estimated 75 million copies) or the runaway best seller, The Late Great Planet Earth.

Revelation made the news during the election of as President of the United States, as many made him the leading candidate for the role of the Antichrist.

Revelation is also perhaps the least-understood words in the entire Bible. Yet, this is one of the most engaging books in all of the Bible. John's book has inspired numerous sermons, artistic works and even musical compositions such as the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's oratorio Messiah (1742), Holy, Holy, Holy (1826), and Crown Him with Many Crowns (1852). Even recent songs have been inspired by the book of Revelation including Michael ...
