Introduction to the Book of Revelation

Revelation
The Book of the Revelation is a tremendous book! It is a prophetic book. It claims to be on a par with the prophecies of the Old Testament, and it is. It is another prophetic book of the Bible, even as Daniel, Ezekiel and Isaiah are prophetic books. This book begins and ends insisting on this fact.
The Book of the Revelation is not only prophetic; it is interesting! Over the years I have spent much time in it. It is vitally interesting to me. It should be to every Christian.

In this Book of the Revelation we have WHAT JOHN SAW on the Isle of Patmos, and what God unfolded to him, a tremendous picture of the End. In the olden days a prophet was called a "seer" because he was able to SEE things in the Next World that ordinary eyes could not see. He saw the things of God.

John very definitely was a New Testament "seer" or prophet, as he stands on the mount of Divine Revelation and looks forward into the future, to the end of the Church Age, the coming agony of the world in the Tribulation Period, the Return of Jesus, the Great One Thousand Years of Christ's Millennial Reign on this earth, the ...
