A study of Revelation
Rev 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things which are written in it; for the time is near.
This is not a simple book. It is placed last in the Bible by Divine providence because God wants us to master the rest of the Bible before we tackle the Revelation. While it is difficult, it is not impossible. God tells us that folk who “keep” to the book will be blessed. God would be messing with us if He gave us an impossible-to-understand book and promised a blessing to those who could “keep” it. Someone said, “Whatever else the Bible deals with, it deals with life, and life is complex. It is no wonder then, that the Bible is often complex as well.” Life lived under pressure from political and social powers can be very complex.
Our hope is that as we go through this study together we’ll be able to say that this makes sense, and take something home with us that will be applicable to our own lives. – Scott Wiley
