THE EPISTLES REVELATION The description of the Book of Revelation as “the strangest book of the New Testament” could be the reason for the general neglect that is afforded it today. Such neglect did not characterize the earliest history of the book. Currently there is a general tendency to identify the book as Revelations as there are multiple revelations in the book. This is not the case. The book is the Revelation of Christ to John. The definition of the term “revelation” is to reveal‚

“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”‚ “Birches”‚ and “The Road Not Taken” Robert Frost was an American poet that first became known after publishing a book in England.

SS 190 THE BOOK OF REVELATION Introduction The Book of Revelation has twenty-two chapters‚ four hundred and four verses‚ and about twelve thousand words.

The Book of Revelation is the last profound book in the New Testament. It conveys the significant purpose of Christianity by describing God’s plan for the world and his final judgment of the people by reinforcing the importance of faith and the concept of Christianity as a whole. Accordingly‚ this book is the written record—not of wild dreams—but the dramatic God-sent visions given to one of God’s servants‚ John the Apostle. This book was written by John in 95 or 96 A.D. at the reign of the Roman
