The Church at Its Best

Revelation 2:1-5

Christians of today need to study and understand the book of Revelation. You might think I’m saying that because of all the horrible things going on in the world right now, and we need to understand when and how the end is going to come, right? Many Christians have internalized the general idea that Revelation is all about how the world will end and that studying it is an exercise in decoding its symbolism to find hidden references to modern-day events.

So what is Revelation about, and why do I say Christians should be studying it in these times? Here in 2020, one can’t be blamed for feeling like the world is spiraling out of control. Although there is a need to feel that current events were planned and prophesied all along, we will miss Revelation’s most important message for our day if we read it looking for that assurance.
