Revelation
“Revelation” is the title of the last book in our English bibles which comes from a translation of the Greek word apokalupsis (to make known, disclose, or reveal) in Revelation 1:1. John’s Apocalypse is the revealing of reality and the end of reality.
What is really going on in the world? Where is the world really headed? What are the real threats we face as God’s people? The Book of Revelation is God saying, “There is more going on than meets the eye. I AM the authoritative interpreter and evaluator of history. This is what is really happening and what will really happen.”
That reality comes to us from two perspectives: from heaven and the future. The Spirit gives John “Heaven’s perspective on earth and the future’s perspective on the present.”
Below you’ll find the books’ major themes, key questions for interpretation/application, songs to sing, prayers to pray, and recommended resources for additional study as we seek to submit to God through his Word and by his Spirit in the book of Revelation.
