What is the book of revelation?

Question

i want to know what the book of revelation is and if you know of any site with it online...also where can i purchase one...besides the internet...

Answer 1

Is called "The Origin of Species"...

Answer 2

It is the revelation of Jesus Christ. It is the last book of the Bible. It's about the last days. People have a hard time understanding the book because they have never read the Old Testament. A lot of the symbolism which people don't understand comes from the Old Testament. There's 65 books before Revelation, so maybe that's not the place to begin.

Answer 3

The book of the Revelation of Saint John the Divine. Is the 66th book in the Protestant Holy Bible. It is the last book, because for it speaks of the end times, it is the last book which requires a working knowledged of the first 65 that is why a lot of people get confused when the skip the first 65 to get to the last book to see it how it ends. There are several views which is to lengthy to go into great detail. Be wary of most commentaries. If you are truly truly wanting to get to know this book - start reading it for yourself, find a church, and a pastor willing to studying it with you, - ask God who has promised a blessing on those who study it - but remember this too - be true to the Whole Word of God let it dictate what it reveals do not let others dictate what it says - God's word is powerful to do what it is called to do - just believe in it follow it live it daily!

Answer 4

Greek Apokalupsis: uncovering; lifting the veil.



Revelation is in the end of the Bible. For better understanding the characteristics of the apocalyptic literature you need to know that the story line involves the reception of visions by the writer. The present is described as a time of trouble while future is a time of deliverance and triumph.



The story is told in a series of dramatic presentations that make use signs and symbols. Signs and symbols are to be understood as figurative first and literal second. This is opposite to other works of Scripture. For example there is nothing figurative about the style Genesis has been written.



Symbols serve as a dual purpose. To disguise the message from those who might be hostile toward it. To solve the riddle for those presently asking the more profound questions.



Overall purpose of the book of revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants -things that must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John Rev 1:1



Visions are commonplace in apocalyptic literature. In Biblical visions, God uses multiple visions with different story lines to communicate the same basic idea.



I am actually planning to do some blogs about this subject. I can recommend the book " More than a conquerors " by Hendriksen.

Answer 5

The Book of Revelation is the very last book of the New Testament out of the Bible.

If you purchase a book to help understand it, be careful in your selection because some have drastically different interpretations of this book. It's best to let the Holy Spririt guide you in understanding.

Answer 10

The Book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible. It is also known as the Apocalypses of St. John. Authorship is generally credited to St. John the Apostle. It is in any version of the Christian Bible and New Testament.



It is not the Book of Revelations (plural) as it was a singular revelation made to the Apostle John. It is not a blue print of the future, but resistance literature for First and Second Century Christians.



All of the prophecies of Revelation have already come to pass in the 1st. and 2nd. Century AD. It is not about the "end times;" people had their own problems then and couldn't care less about what was going to happen in our time.

Answer 11

Revelation is the book about the end of human history.

Answer 12

the book of revelations is the last book of the bible...the bible has 66 books and that is the last book..just get a bible and there it is...



The book itself is a revelation given to John but it is very cryptic and very hard to decipher. It talks about the last days of the world and how there will be a battle between good and evil...

Answer 13

The book of Revelation is about the end times, though there is alot of symbolism in it. For example, a 'dragon' symbolizes Satan and evil. If you want to purchase a book on Revelation, try Amazon.com. You should find a book on it there, but if you don't want to buy it on the internet, try a religious book and gift store. They're sure to have a book about every book in the bible. :D I grant you, Revelation is a hard book to understand, but overall, it's about Armageddon and the end times and the end of the world.

Answer 14

The book of Revelations is "the book of things to come", or tellings of the last days. You should read it because it discusses all the problems we are having in the world today.

Answer 15

Essentially it the history of what is yet to come. It can be a tough read. The best commentary on it is a book called the Revelation Record by Henry Morris. It explains it all verse by verse. It's pretty scary in parts, but the ending is awesome!

Answer 16

God gave us the Book of Revelation to reveal his love and compassion for each of us. The Book of Revelation helps us understand the spiritual conflict between forces of good and forces of evil representing God and Satan. The Bible promises to bless us when we read the Book of Revelation.

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.

Answer 17

Bible Seeker is a great free bible download with a really good search and Revelation is the last book. Be sure to get a King James version bible if you go to a store to buy one.

Answer 18

. I recomend the following: "The Great Controversy (Between Christ and Satan)" by E. G. White. "The Prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation" by Uriah Smith. And of course the Holy King James Bible. I believe that the two Bible books (Daniel and Revelation) cannot be understood by themselves, as these two books explain each other ! May God bless you as you study His Word <:)))><

Revelation 1:1,2

Answer 27

The book of revelation really belongs in the old testament because of its nature. Numerology, astrology and Jewish mysticism. Jesus is barely mentioned. I use to believe the book was from God etc. I studied it much and other prophetic books also.

now atheist so my view is much better. It is pretty clear the writer of REVELATION borrowed from Ezekiel.

Read the book then straight away read Ezekiel and you will see the extreme parralels in writing.

It was written at the same time some of the events were occuring.
