The New Testament: The Book Of Revelation By John

263 Words2 Pages
Revelation is a book in the New Testament that always seems to be overlooked by most Christians because of it seeming a little unclear or maybe something that has to be read between the lines to mean something else. Yet, that may be true in order to study every aspect of it and have an understanding, every Christian has the ability to grow deeper into what John is really trying to say in the book of Revelation. John clearly wrote this book to reveal what will happen in the end times and to warn those who do not follow after Christ of the destruction that will come about if they are not to follow after him. In the beginning of Revelation, it states that John is shown visions and then it begins describing all of the visions he had,

Rick Moody’s, The Apocalypse Commentary of Bob Paisner is hardly an academic paper. The narrator, here a forthcoming graduate, traces his own experiences in college in the order of the Revelation of St. John. By random inclusion of parenthetical documentation of biblical scripture; and allusion to key apocalyptic figures, concepts, and events throughout the plot; Moody created a parallel between his life and the prophecy of John recorded in the book of Revelation. He marks each instance as a new section, labeled by a significant component of Revelation, in chronological order. Moody does little to expand upon or explain the prophecies of John beyond how he perceived them to be happening in his own life.

The book of Revelation is apocalyptic in nature, meaning this kind of literature is full of symbolic connotation. Some of the symbolism is found in the Old Testament (e.g., Lion of Judah, Lamb of God), while some are found in the New Testament (e.g., Son of Man, bride of Christ). Others, though, are not biblical parallel (e.g., mark of the beast, scarlet beast, seven thunders) and are left up to interpretation. There are four places where John identifies himself as the author (1:1, 4,9; 22:8) but, an African bishop named, Dionysius argued Revelation could not have been written by the apostle John. This is due to the differing language, style and thought in Revelation compared to other works by John.

The textbook “The Message of the Old Testament” by author Mark Dever provides many insightful sermons that offer a big picture of the majesty of God and His promises. I chose to read “The Message of Song of Songs,” which delivers several main points regarding the overall message conveyed in the Songs section on wisdom for the married. Throughout the text, the author emphasizes that Songs is a pivotal chapter in the Old Testament, highlighting the enjoyment and building of physical and relational intimacy while also establishing identity and finding meaning in our longing for a companion and how the Bible celebrates this. The author cites several verses of Songs that illustrate these themes to support these claims.

Revelation, inspiration, and canonization all relate to one another in the Bible. First God gave a chosen few the revelations of things that were going to happen. This means that God revealed things to these men. Then He gave them the inspiration or “dictation”, of what to write. Last but not least, these became the canon.

Revelation is of course the last book in the Bible which is a summation of the end times. This is amazing because the book is essentially written pre end time to talk to us about the end time adversities. It is also a reminder more importantly that Jesus is coming back and that we should be ready for his coming. It is a reminder that we don't have time to play around yet we need to show urgency as it relates to sharing the gospel with others. It gives me a sense of hope knowing that we don't have to fight this weary fight for long.

The right way to interpret this book is to see that Revelation is both describing the struggle Christians have with Rome and it is also a book that describes the final judgement. The reader should interpret Revelation as a message of hope to Christians that God will triumph over evil in the end. John is not trying to predict any certain events in the future. This book is composed of symbols that convening that God will have victory over Satan.
