The Holy Bible - Revelation

The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading.

Why read it?

The Book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible, written by the apostle John around 95 AD while exiled on Patmos. God gave him visions of the future, judgement on evil, and the final victory of Jesus Christ. It shows trials for the church, the return of Christ, the defeat of Satan, and a new heaven and earth.

You will find vivid pictures of heaven, warnings to churches, and promises for those who endure. This book gives hope to sufferers and shows God's plan to make all things new.

Favourite quote

In Revelation 21:4, John sees the new creation:

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

These words promise an end to all suffering. God will remove every hurt in His new world.

What I Loved

The throne scene in chapter 4 grips me. John sees a door open in heaven and the Lord on His throne, surrounded by worship (Revelation 4:1-11). Creatures and elders cry "Holy, holy, holy" without stop. This glimpse of God's glory reminds me that He rules over everything, no matter how bad things look on earth.

Key Takeaway

Revelation teaches that Jesus wins in the end. Evil powers rage, but Christ returns as King to judge and renew creation. The book calls us to stay faithful, reject compromise, and overcome by the blood of the Lamb. It reminds us to look forward to the city where God dwells with His people forever.
