Revelation falls into the literary genre of apocalyptic literature. The dictionary defines apocalyptic as “describing or prophesying the complete destruction of the world.” This has led many to view Revelation as describing the end of the world as we know it. But apocalyptic has an entirely different meaning in the Scripture. The first sentence in ...
Revelation is addressed as a letter from John, the author, to seven churches in the province of Asia. These seven churches are each mentioned by name in chapters two and three, along with a personalized message from Jesus.

The purpose statement for Revelation is found in that first sentence quoted above. The intent of this revelation was “to show his servants what must soon take place.” It was to look into the near future.

- Revelation is not hard to understand. Revelation is a book that many people avoid, convinced that it is too hard to interpret and understand. Certainly there are some challenges to rightly interpreting some of its vivid imagery and plentiful symbolism.
- Revelation is not primarily about the future. Revelation was written to fortify believers in the first century, and every century since then, to live out bold allegiance to Christ as they/we wait for the King of Kings to come and establish his kingdom on earth in all of its glorious fullness.
- Revelation enables us to view reality from heaven’s perspective. The book of Revelation is John’s record of a series of visions that he was given and instructed to write down for us.
- Revelation reorients our shallow understanding of what it means to be blessed. Revelation contains lots of sevens, including seven beatitudes—seven statements regarding what it means to be blessed.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is communicated to John through prophetic visions. (1:1–9) John is instructed by the "one like a son of man" to write all that he hears and sees, from the prophetic visions, to Seven Churches of Asia .
More than judgment on the evildoers, Revelation is a book about hope for the faithful in Christ. What pains or indignities have you suffered? What broken relationship have you wept over? Has death’s sword struck deep into your heart?
