We live in a noisy, distracting world which incessantly screams for our attention. But in Revelation, Jesus yells back and reminds His church that He is Lord, that He is coming, and that we need to stay awake to this truth (Revelation 16:15). Yes, he uses imagery and symbolism that can seem bizarre and strange at first glance, but He’s not out to c...
Revelation 1:1 begins with these words: “The revelation of Jesus Christ.” Revelation is first and foremost a book from Jesus about Jesus. John sees Jesus in the fullness of his glory as the: 1. Sovereign King over all creation (1:12-16), 2. Lion of Judah who alone is worthy to unfold human history (5:1-5), 3. Slain Lamb who shed his blood to ransom...
Revelation also paints a realistic picture of the church. Lest we think that first-century Christians had it all together, Revelation 2-3 shows us real churches with real issues. Ephesus is backsliding, Smyrna is suffering, Pergamum is compromising, Thyatira is polluted, Sardis is dying, Philadelphia is small, and Laodicea is lukewarm.1 And yet, Je...
Jesus never promised that following Him would be easy. Life in a fallen world is marked by suffering. In Revelation, the seven seals (6:1-17, 8:1-5), seven trumpets (8:6-9:21, 11:15-19), seven bowls (16:1-21) describe great turmoil on the earth. There’s debate about which parts of these sufferings Christians will endure, but we certainly endure som...
Demonstrations of hostility against the church run throughout Revelation. Perhaps the most striking is the story of the two witnesses in chapter 11. These two men are faithful to Christ and bold for Christ, and then they are killed for their faith. When they die the world rejoices, celebrating their demise as if it were Christmas by making merry an...
Revelation 12:9 calls Satan “the deceiver of the whole world.” Throughout the book, he deceives the world into engaging with him in active rebellion against Almighty God (Revelation 16:14). This reminds us that we need to stay awake and resist his lies (Revelation 16:15). This also reminds us that our ultimate battle is not against flesh and blood,...
Few things are as unpopular today as the doctrine of eternal condemnation. And yet, few things are as clear in Revelation as the doctrine of hell. Hell is not pleasant, but it is very real. At the end of history, anyone who has not pledged allegiance to Christ by repentance and faith will face the wrath of God. God’s judgment is always just, and th...
The future hope for every believer is the new heavens and the new earth. There will be no more sin (Revelation 22:3). There will be no more suffering (21:4). And, there will be no more sun because the glory of the Lord will shine out in the fullness of its brilliance (21:23). Christians will stand before the Lord Jesus, in resurrected bodies, in a ...
Jun 21, 2024 · The first horse, a white one, seems bent on conquest (Revelation 6:2). Its rider wears a crown and holds a bow. Some people have attributed the rider of this horse as the person of Jesus, as later in Revelation 19 Jesus rides a white horse. However, others have said this is the antichrist.
Apr 3, 2024 · Now, let me discuss 8 key symbols from the Book of Revelation and explain their meanings: 1. The Seven Seals: Divine judgment and human resilience. One of the most intriguing symbols in the Book of Revelation is the Seven Seals. Upon the Lamb’s opening of each seal, a series of dramatic events unfold, symbolizing divine judgment.
A search of the book reveals that horses are mentioned sixteen times in twelve verses in the book (Ezekiel 17:15; 23:6, 12, 20, 23; 26:7, 10, 11; 27:14; 38:4, 15; 39:20), but never are they described as “four horses,” nor are they ever described as being of various colors.
Aug 25, 2018 · Revelation often has references to symbolism from other prophecies and visions, like the visions of Daniel, Ezekiel, and Zechariah. Some things in the visions are symbolic and interpreted within the vision, such as the lampstands representing the churches (Rev. 1:20). Other things in the vision are simply accessories, like in a dream.

In the Revelation, the sea represents the Gentile nations (for example, see Isaiah 57:20-21). The earth therefore represents the Promised Land. That is, the Promised Land is the place where the Promised Seed would sprout.
