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

Revelations part in the bible for me is like a concluding portions of the whole bible. It entices me to see through it , the answer to how will it all look like before God will restore to Him , human and all His creations.

The book of Revelation draws people to it because they want to know what will happen in the future. Revelation is written in such Symbolic Language that people have a hard time trying to understand what it means.
I find the value in studying it is so that when I witness i am able to share with people what is going to happen if they do not except Christ

People are drawn to the book of Revelation because the events John foretells are the end of the so much of what we know in the here and now and the beginning of the eternity we’ve read about, heard about, imagined and hoped for. It’s also intriguing because everything happens at a spiritual level, in ways we’ve only been able to see in action movies.
It’s confusing because it’s written in figurative language, and people are sometimes ambitious in how they interpret it, bringing in modern details to fit into the narrative (for example, “This _______ may be the mark of the beast, beware!”). -
People are drawn to it because it offers hope of what is to come. Many might be confused by it because John uses symbolism to paint the picture, so without the proper context, it could very well be misinterpreted.

It’s a profession of God’s love for us. There are some weird things in it that don’t seem believable. Studying it can help bring us knowledge of what to expect in the end days.
