Book Cover & Preview Text
Genesis, the book of beginnings, the first book of the Bible, opens this greatest story ever told. It is the story of God’s creation of the universe and the earth and its creatures, of His creation of man, and of man’s tragic fall. Throughout the rest of the Bible in both Old and New Testaments, God’s plan for the redemption of man is revealed. The last book of the Bible, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, unveils the climax of the story, the ultimate fulfillment of God’s plan and purpose, and the realization of His hope and dream for man. It is a book of just judgment and of joyous jubilee, the restoration of all things. Before the book of Genesis timeless eternity stretches back to God. After the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ extend endless eons of eternity. Between the covers of the Bible is encompassed the whole span of the phenomenon we call time. As Genesis is the history of time’s beginning, so the book, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, contains the prophecy of its end. A revelation is an act of uncovering or communicating divine truth. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, then, is a book of divine truth. It is called an apocalyptic book which, Webster’s Dictionary* says, means it is “marked . . . by symbolic imagery and the expectation of an imminent cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys the ruling powers of evil and raises the righteous to life in a messianic kingdom.” The Messianic Kingdom is to be ruled by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Messiah Jesus, Son of Man and Son of God. John promises that if we read and hear the words of the prophecy the angel/messenger of the Lord gave to him, we will be blessed. So, despite what may seem to be difficult symbolism and despite its cataclysmic imagery, The Revelation of Jesus Christ is a book of blessing.
