I would be very positive about them wanting to learn about what God has for us, but would strongly recommend reading the book of John to become acquainted with Jesus’ words. Also, the reader would learn about who John is. This would help answer other questions they may have about origin of the book of Revelation.

I wouldn’t discourage a new Christian to not read Revelation. To read a book of the Bible for the enjoyment of reading is nice. However, to study and try to understand the book, take a course on Revelation or get a study book on Revelation (recommended by the pastor).

My advi e would be to read through it first, then reread it and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what He want you to know and understand.

I would suggest they do not take everything in this book literal, to not only read, but to study with concordances, study bible and other materials relating to the book of Revelation.

As a new Christian, Revelations is very exciting. I would recommend reading the gospel of John first, and the book of Romans second. This order will introduce the new Christian to who Jesus is and the unending grace and love that he is. Once the new Christian understands this, then to speak with the pastoral team about where to go from there.
