Why are people drawn to the book of Revelation and confused by it? What might be the value in studying it?
-
Revelation brings closure to the scriptures but also can be difficult to understand the imagery depicted of the end times. It’s good to study to know about the second coming of Jesus.
-
I think people are drawn to the book of Revelation because it’s so unlike any other book in the Bible. People want to know when the “end” will be and thus all sorts of people have tried to decipher it.
-
I think people are drawn to the book of Revelation and confused by it because of its writing style. Revelation is written in a highly figurative and apocalyptic literary style that includes many symbols and makes references to the Old Testament. I think the value in studying Revelation is the wealth of information contained in the book. Restoration speaks of restoration and consummation of all things, an end of redemptive history, a bringing of closure to conflict, and tensions throughout Scripture.

People are drawn to the Book of Revelation because of its elements of prophecy and wonderment of events that will take place before the new heaven and earth are revealed. It is worth studying both as a warning and as a hopeful Tool to aid in our own walk with Christ.

People are drawn and confused by its fantastic imagery. Dragons, angels, trumpets, war, judgement, and paradise. It reads like a fantasy but it is difficult to decipher what is metaphor and what is actual. The value in studying is that there is clarity on how things will turn out for all of creation.
