Revelation of Jesus Christ
reveals God's power, love, and mercy

The Revelation from Jesus Christ, that our Lord gave to John, fills us with hope that our God still controls all from his Throne. The God of power, love, and mercy speaks to each through his Revelation in the Holy Word. Our Lord's final Revelation in the Bible reveals the heart of the Father towards his children contrasted with the heart of evil from the kingdom of darkness.

Why, Papa?

One day I was reading a Bible story about Jesus on the cross to Christine, my three-year-old granddaughter. As I read, Christine asked, “Why, Papa?”

I explained that Jesus died on the cross because he loves us.
Christine asked, “Why, Papa?”

I said, “Jesus went to the cross so that we could live with him in Heaven.”
Christine asked, “Why, Papa?”

I told her, “Jesus wants us to live with him in Heaven because he loves us.”
Christine asked again, “Why, Papa?”

As I thought about the words, “Why, Papa?” I began to understand why I am writing Walking through Revelation: With a Common Man. I want to help people understand what the Bible and the Revelation of Jesus Christ, says to each of us today. Jesus Christ spoke often to us from the Bible and his Revelation.

The Book of Revelation reveals a picture of God’s unending love, grace, and mercy. Revelation gives us hope in the promises of our Creator and provides us with a glimpse of our risen Savior, the God of Authority. The images in Revelation show us a God of power who controls the universe. It also reveals that nothing will stop his plan for the salvation of his children.

Revelation Understanding

Many modern readers find the Revelation of Jesus Christ obscured in mystery. Some Christians do not understand or read much in the last book of the Bible. These children of the Father feel confused because of all the symbolism and the ongoing imagery, which makes numerous passages in Revelation seem difficult to understand. Perhaps the Lord did not intend for us to grasp it in total.

Revelation Seems Difficult

Some areas of the Revelation of Jesus Christ and this book may seem difficult to comprehend on the first reading. Parts of Walking through Revelation often explain themselves from other sections. The Book of Revelation uses rich symbolism to reveal the thoughts of our Savior. Some may find it useful to read this book more than once, or use it as a reference to clear up cloudy sections of Revelation. Reading the Bible references and praying always help us understand the Lord’s Revelation.

Revelation depicts conflict and evil standing beside the Church that Jesus loves. The book portrays the limited power and authority of Satan’s kingdom. The Revelation of Jesus Christ reveals our present and future hope of glory. The book discloses that, even in times of suffering and tribulation, the children of God win.

Revelation illustrates that God will proclaim his Gospel to the entire world. In the end, the Christians, or “saints of God,” triumph over evil with the Lord’s help. The Sovereign Unchanging God declares victory in the battle for the spiritual life of his children.

The Almighty God sits on his Throne in Heaven and rules his creation. In this vision, our Savior gives us these messages: he control’s the universe, he control’s the world, he control’s our country, and he control’s our city.

Seven Separate Visions

If we divide the Revelation of Jesus Christ into seven visions, the book seems to make sense. Each of the seven separate visions covers a similar time span between the first and the Second Coming of Christ. Each vision looks at the Christian Church and the Gospel Age from a different perspective.

Most of us have looked at homes either to rent or to buy. Sometimes when we cannot enter a house, we need to look at it from the outside. The view through each window appears different from the views through the other windows. If we walk around the house and look in all the windows, we interpret how the house looks on the inside. Likewise, in the Revelation, each vision gives us a different interpretation of the Gospel.
