Why are people drawn to the book of Revelation and confused by it? What might be the value in studying it?

The book of Revelation is enticing because it has the future woven through, but it is written in a way that we don’t always understand. The value is understanding God’s heart and living with a view fo the future, but not to “figure out all the details.” Instead, see it as what is to come and trust God through the process.

People are drawn to it because our human nature is wanting to know what comes next to have some sense of control. It’s confusing to understand because of the symbolism in the book, but it’s beneficial to study because it shows us the promises of the Lord and the victory and joy in the end for believers

As I am a baby in my spiritual growth, I want to understand what the future holds. To a new Christian it is overwhelming and stokes confusion and fear. Hopefully, as I become more aware of who I am thru Jesus Christ, the book of Revelations won’t be so daunting.

People are drawn to the Book of Revelations because they want to know what the end will bring. Some will fear and other will look forward to the final and eternal promises of God. The colorful descriptions and symbolic language is beautiful, intriguing and calls us to ponder more deeply. The symbolism can be confusing but the warnings and promises are clear. The most wonderful part of the Book of Revelation is the description of the New Heaven and Earth; who wouldn’t want that!
