The “Revelation of Jesus Christ” is one of the most misunderstood books in the Biblical canon, yet its goal is clearly stated up-front: God gives this book as a “gift” from Jesus Messiah to His servants, for the events of the books, which will impact not only their lives but the entire world, are things which must soon take place. So, this brief devotional guide seeks to give you an overview of this important book, but remember these key points before you read: First, remember that this book is a gift for the servants of Jesus Messiah. Read this if you are intent on serving Jesus to advance His purposes. If you cling to your own fleshly, human self-interest, you will shirk from and try to deny its message. Second, be encouraged! This is not a book of disaster and impending doom, for the word apocalypse simply means the “revealing,” the full disclosure of Jesus as earth’s coming Messiah and King. His revealing changes all who see Him. First, His Church. Then, Israel. Finally, the world. As He is revealed, His Kingdom comes. So, read this book as a spiritual revelation from God, a work of prophecy rather than an ordinary letter. Because it is a prophetic work, this book will unsettle our earth bound, fleshly need for normalcy, so you may be tested by its disruptive message: Jesus Messiah comes to overturn this world’s darkness by his very presence! Revealed to the seven churches, Jesus overturns their fleshly religion; breaking the seven seals, Jesus overturns Jewish unbelief; releasing the seven trumpets, Jesus overturns the world’s love of the darkness; and, pouring out the seven bowls, Jesus overturns Godless human rule forever! See how Jesus is revealed to bring His Kingdom!
