This is written for believers in and followers of Jesus Christ in Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches, my sisters and brothers in Christ. Many Evangelical and Pentecostal believers will already be familiar with the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible. But, for others that book has been counted as too mysterious or non-relevant for teaching and preaching at this time. However, it appears to become more relevant for our world in the 21st Century.

Old and New Testament prophecies appear to be heading toward to what the Bible calls the Day of the Lord and the End of the Age. The Book of Revelation gives a description of events that will happen as God’s plan for the ages comes to an end.

Revelation chapter 1, verse 3 says, Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. That was written almost 2,000 years ago, so the time is that much closer. The word blessed can mean happy. The word keep means to keep safe. It is important for followers of Jesus Christ in our day to be aware of what lies ahead for the Church, it is our hope and our joy, leading to holy living.

In this book terms such as Apocalypse, the Tribulation, Anti-Christ, the False-Prophet, Rapture of the Church, Armageddon, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the End of the Age and others are explained. Blest and happy and hopeful is God’s promise for those who read and hear the words of this book, and keep it safe for others. The time may be nearer than we may expect. There is Heaven to gain, and Hell to escape for those who acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
