Why are people drawn to the book of Revelation and confused by it? What might be the value in studying it?
-
We all have a desire to know what is ahead.
The figurative language is confusing and it jumps around
There is blessing in studying it. -
I believe that people are drawn to Revelation is because it offers a glance into the future of the Earth and mankind. It reveals to us what Jesus has been doing for all of the time that he has been in Heaven. The Bible says, Blessed are those who study the words of prophecy.

With it being the only book that hasn’t happened yet, and the one with the most imagery (minus the Psalms perhaps) it is understanding for there to be an air of mystery and misunderstanding around the book of Revelation. The value in studying it is to understand that Jesus is coming back and that God ultimately wins.

People are curious about the future. We often hear, particularly in today’s world, “Are we living in the end times?” Revelation aims to answer this question. Although it is confusing to many people because of its metaphors and symbols we do clearly see a time when Satan is defeated and peace reigns supreme forever.

Many have a curiosity for the unknown. Many want to know the future , alot will look in the Bible and try to glean answers from various books including Revelation. Some will ignore the Holy Scriptures and go to witches, mediums and fortune tellers to find out the future. The Word of God is the only true source.
