"Summary of the Book of Revelation"

The word "revelation" in the Greek is apocalypses, which means "an uncovering" or "unveiling." It is therefore a book designed to uncover or unveil, not conceal. Part of the challenge in understanding the book is that it is written in a style not familiar to modern man. It is an example of what is called "apocalyptic literature" which was quite popular from 200 B.C. to 200 A.D. As such, it was a type of literature well known to the Jews and Christians of the first century church. The early church likely did not have the problem understanding the book as we do today. They were well acquainted with the style of apocalyptic literature. I have done two years of research and teaching in the Book of Revelation. It was incredibly challenging but one that I loved and was tremendously blessed to complete. This will be a summary of my teaching notes with charts and tables and other information that I believe you will be encouraged and motivated to read over and over again. Because God's Word is so powerful and revealing that as you read you will gain greater revelation each time you read it. May God open your eyes, heart, and mind to greater revelation of what He has done, and will do in the future.
