Author: The Apostle John.
Date Written: Between a.d. 90 and 96.
Title: This book is so named because it is the “revelation” of Jesus Christ as given to the Apostle John. It is also called the Apocalypse, which means “unveiling.”
Background: John is exiled by the Roman government to Patmos, a small island off the coast of Greece, for preaching the Word of God. His exile is only part of an intense period of persecution against the church, which follows the Roman emperor Domitian’s proclamation that he should be worshipped as deity. While on Patmos, John receives this revelation about Jesus Christ from God the Father. An angel helps John to understand the vision. Whereas the first book of the Bible—Genesis—tells of the beginning of sin and Satan’s triumph, the last book of the Bible—Revelation—tells of sin’s end and Satan’s defeat. A special blessing is promised to all who read, hear, and obey this book. But also a special curse is promised to those who add to or take away from these words. John also wrote the fourth Gospel and the three letters that bear his name.
Where Written: On the island of Patmos, in the Aegean Sea.
To Whom: To seven churches in Asia Minor (modern Turkey).
Content: Revelation is lavish in colorful descriptions of the visions that proclaim for us the last days before Christ’s return and the ushering in of the new heaven and new earth. The fact that it may at first seem too complex is no reason to avoid this book, for it is a full disclosure of the prophetic events that await every person, whether dead or alive. Revelation makes known what is to come: the series of devastations to be poured out on the earth; the mark of the beast, 666 (13:18); the climactic battle of Armageddon; the binding of Satan; the reign of the Lord; the great white throne of judgment; and the nature of the eternal city of God. Prophecies concerning Jesus Christ are fulfilled, and a concluding call to His lordship assures us that He will soon return.
Key Words: “Revelation”; “Jesus Christ”; “Seven.”
This book is a thorough “revelation” of the total person of “Jesus Christ”: His glory, power, and wisdom; His judgment, kingdom, and grace; and the Lamb of God from Alpha to Omega. Several numbers have significant symbolism in Revelation, but the number “seven” is dominant throughout with seven letters, seven seals, seven trumpets, seven signs, seven plagues, seven dooms, and seven new things.
Themes: • The end of earthly life is only the beginning of eternal life. • Christians shall spend eternity with God in the new Jerusalem. • Unbelievers shall spend eternity with Satan in the lake of fire. • God desires that everyone trust in His Son for redemption—today!
