Book of Revelation
Understanding Its Message of Encouragement
Perhaps one of the reasons that the last book of the Bible is so mysterious, so confusing, or so fearsome, is that we don't look at it as a loving, personal message from God. We focus on its meaning for the world and try to interpret it as a warning about a destructive and inevitable end. We search for clues about the timing of the Anti-Christ and the Second Coming of Jesus, while forgetting that the Word of God always has multiple levels of meaning, and that God always wants to speak to us individually in every scripture.
He wants His Word to affect our lives in the here and now. He wants His Word to help us grow closer to Him. He wants His Word to challenge us to more lovingly serve our brothers and sisters. And He speaks to us through all scripture ~ including the Book of Revelation ~ to make a difference in the only moment we've got: The Now Moment.
