It is filled with mystery and violence. There is a lot of imagery that is hard to explain. It is about the last days so that is important in studying it.

People are drawn to the book of Revelation because of its mystery and intrigue. They are confused by it because of its imagery and metaphoric language. However, there is great value in studying it because it is the revelation of Jesus Christ. If we open this letter and study it from the perspective of seeing Jesus and learning more about Him then the letter is able to bless, encourage, and strengthen us.

People want to know the ending and what is to come. But there’s a lot of confusion with Revelation because it is so visionary and metaphorical. However, there is such value in studying Revelation because, in it, we get to see the majesty, power, authority, and glory of God the Father, His Son, and His Spirit, all working together for the final restoration of His kingdom.

People want to know the ending and what is to come. He is using symbolism which confuses people because they don’t understand what it actually means or how it relates to them. It’s good to study so get an understanding of what is to come and what to look for.
