The Book of Revelation is called "The Revelation of Jesus Christ", and yet it is treated by so many as a side issue or a secondary matter. Why? Is it really something that we can agree to disagree on, as is commonly believed? Those who are of this persuasion are ignorant of how the New Testament is indispensably completed by this revelation of Jesus Christ. In other words, the revelation of Jesus Christ, as we know it, communicated to us by the testimony of Holy Scripture, is incomplete without this revelation that was given to the apostle John: what we call the Book of Revelation. Herein is the Person and work of Christ so needfully revealed that, without it, the New Testament as we know it would be radically different. The Book of Revelation provides closure to the past, a revelation of Jesus Christ at present, and a perfect fulfillment of all prophecy in the future. This, if you only knew, is a cause for great celebration in heavenly places! On earth, however, these things go unappreciated by most; and that's a modest portrayal of things! Fearfully, the Book of Revelation is dealt with contemptuously by many who feel threatened by it! They are speechless at its witness and suppressive of its message; they promote their own ministries instead. Why? "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." - Prov. 1:7
