  • Essay / The Book of Revelation: How is Revelation a Blessing?

    How is Revelation a blessing? The Apostle John is the author of the book of Revelation. He received revelation from Jesus Christ and wrote down everything he saw (Revelation 1:1-2). Revelation is the final book of the Bible and the ultimate revelation of the second coming of Jesus Christ (Revelation 10:1-7). The book of Revelation will bless all who read it. 3 John 4 says, “I have no greater joy than to know that my children live according to the truth. » The Apocalypse is a blessing in eschatology by giving the universal Church of Jesus Christ the signs, the hope and the expectation of his return. The Apostle John was around 90 years old and exiled to the island of Patmos when he wrote the book of Revelation (Young: 2). In the first eight verses of Revelation, the name "Jesus" appears fourteen times (Rev. 1:1, 1:2, 1:5, 1:9, 12:17, 14:12, 17:6, 7:10 p.m., 8:4 p.m., 10:20 p.m. and 10:21 p.m.).9. In the list of Babylon's goods, there are twenty-eight products (Revelation 18:11-13)10. The “Lamb” is mentioned twenty-eight times (Rev. 5:6, 5:8, 5:12, 5:13, 6:1, 6:16, 7:9, 7:10, 7:14, 7:17, 12:11, 13:8, 13:11, 14:1, 14:4, 14:10, 15:3, 17:14, 19:7, 21:9, 21:14, 21: 22, 21:23, 21:27, 22:1 and 22:3). The Bible contains a total of sixty-six books. However, there is only one book in the Bible that promises special blessings (Bibleknowledge.com). In the book of Revelation we are told in chapter one, verse three, “Blessed is he who reads the words of the prophecy aloud, and blessed are those who hear and keep what is written therein; for the time is near” (NRSV). It is the first of seven blessings explicitly written in the book of Revelation. This is perhaps the most profound scripture in the entire Bible. God chooses the book of Revelation to call upon all to read, hear, and do what is written in the pages of Revelation, especially the prophecy that God gave to John. It is important to note that God officially declares that “blessed” will be any man or woman who follows the instructions. Many Christians are afraid of trying to study Revelation and understand it. But God is very direct in choosing this particular book from the beginning. God is trying to tell us how extremely important the book of Revelation is for everyone. First, there was a contract between the wife and the husband. Generally, the groom's parents paid a dowry to the bride. This was what we called the engagement period. The second stage usually took place a year later. The groom and some friends would go to the bride's house at night and organize a torchlight parade for her through the streets. The third and final step was the supper itself, which could last several days (Gotquestions.org). The Apostle John's vision in Revelation places the marriage supper of the Lamb and his bride in the third phase. The dowry paid for the Church was the Son of God (John 3:16). The parade is mentioned in the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25: 1-13). The Church is currently “betrothed” to Christ and, like the virgins in Matthew 25, all believers should watch, pay attention to the signs, and wait for the appearance of the Bridegroom (Gotquestions.org). The marriage supper of the Lamb will be a glorious celebration for all who are in Christ (Fort:
