Why Revelation Now?

Epistles make Christianity applicable.  So many wonder, “why should I care about reading the Bible?”  I mean, all that people really want is some insight into this life, how to deal with the emotions, inconsistencies and trials.  Folks, reading the Bible provides all that and an endless repository/access to the wisdom of the ages, while delivering the greatest prize, a growing relationship with God.  Taking that into account wouldn’t you believe studying/learning the Epistle written by the Apostle John dictated by Jesus Christ, given to Him by God Himself would be an important part of any believers success preparedness?  That Epistle of which I speak is also called “Revelation”.

The Book of Revelation is for believers seeking Christian maturity, those of us who desperately want to tie the entire Bible together and discover the reason for the sense of urgency behind repentance, salvation, sanctification and service.  Why is it so important to take stock in Christian teaching?  Why did the Apostles continually warn Christians to be ready, ready for what?  Why should I be concerned about the current state of worldly affairs, truly what does it have to do with me?  Isn’t everything that God said would happen going to happen no matter what I do?  Is there a practical method of applying what I’ve learned to this life while preparing an understanding of the hereafter?  What is going to happen to those that don’t believe in Jesus?  Can I avoid that and does that escape mean that I have a responsibility to those who are still held captive?  What is going to happen to my family, this country, the world, how about the devil?  All these questions are valid and deserve a clear answer.  Please don’t be surprised but all these questions are adequately and completed answered in a thorough study of Revelation.

As Revelation is so complete, so precise so in depth, I cannot do the Lord justice by telling you in a paragraph all that may be found in its body.  I must however, beg, plead, insist, implore and guarantee you that it will provide the kind of hope, understanding and knowledge necessary to surviving the trials that will soon face this entire world.  Maybe you will heed my warning and begin today, I pray that is the case.  I ask the Holy Spirit and other believers be provided as your guide so that you may fully comprehend the urgency and gravity of the days in which we reside.  I pray for your edification, health and peace, in the name of the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ the King.
