The book of Revelation
The book of Revelation has application for us today. It has had the same application for every century. But the book of Revelation began because the first century was crying out: 'John what hope do we have being Christians if you, Peter and all the Apostles are being killed?' John writes a letter a prophetic letter to seven churches. Let us define his prophetic letter in context with 1 Corinthians 14:3: "But the person who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding, encouragement, and comfort". For what reason is prophecy?
upbuilding
encouragement and
comfort
The book of Revelation is more about Radical Discipleship than about the Second Coming! If we are not uplifted, encouraged and comforted, we are reading the book of Revelation wrong! The Second Coming is not a theory to be discussed but a truth to be lived. Walk in holiness!
