Great review of Revelation. Possibly the best I’ve seen.
My favorite book!
As typical of FReepers
I commented first and now have read the article.
The ‘New Jerusalem’ has long
Been my Goal !
Ultimately, what our Lord wants of us is for us to know Him. Overarching the book of Revelation is a portrayal of our Lord Jesus Christ. From the detailed portrait of chapter 1 with its vivid brushstrokes from the palette of Old Testament prophetic word all the way through the book, Jesus Christ is presented to us as our hope and stay. In Him are victory and deliverance, and that redemption is ours through faith in Him.
Beholding Jesus beckons us to worship the true and living God, to rest in Him for sure and certain hope, and to rely on Him for strength, comfort, and courage to press on. As we share in His sufferings, so we share in His victory, both aspects reason for rejoicing (1 Peter 4:13).
