As we embark on this study, there are certain things that we need to first establish. Here are five things that I believe the book of Revelation is about:
- Revelation is the most Biblical book in the Bible.
- Revelation has a system of symbolism.
- Revelation is a prophecy about imminent events – events that were about to break loose on the world of the First Century.
- Revelation is a worship service.
- Revelation is a book about dominion.
Also, we have to study The Revelation as a part of the entirety of Scripture and not as a separate book on its own. It ties in beautifully with the rest of the Bible and Israel’s journey. So, as we study the prophecy within this book, we will see how it ties in with Jesus’ prophecy recorded in Matthew 24 and many of the words spoken directly to the tribes of Israel. It was a powerful and very relevant book for the First Century Church and gives us today a clear picture of God’s way of dealing with His people. When approached from this point of view, fresh realms of understanding will herald some fresh and powerful truths for us today.
Also, we need to bear in mind that the Bible is a record of Two Covenants; the Old Covenant which had a shelf life and was destined to come to an end. And then we have the New Covenant which is eternal and as such will never end. It has been eternally established by our King and Lord, Jesus the Christ. We need to add to this the understanding that the entire cannon of Scripture was written prior to AD 70.
