This book will do two things for you:

Some portions of Revelation are difficult, but there are many rich truths that can provide much needed hope for the people of God. This book will show you the practical value of John's visions for your life.

Additionally, this book will be your guide, helping you to avoid the disaster of falling for false theories concocted from Christ's end - time prophecies - perhaps some you may have already consumed!

Revelation was meant to encourage and uplift the Saviour's people in trying times. Do not neglect the final written word from Jesus, your Lord.
