| The Book of Revelation is a storybook. It takes the reader from the scene of Jesus Christ's glory as the Father's High Priest in His heavenly temple to the final temple, called “New Jerusalem” (Revelation 3:21 & 21:2) where His Bride will dwell eternally with Him. The Book of Revelation is the “Masterpiece” of all Biblical stories. It begins with the glory of Jesus Christ and ends with His saints in His glory. At the beginning of the story, He walks in the midst of His church, but in the end His church walks in the midst of New Jerusalem, the most spectacular city ever dreamed. This storybook is the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 1:1). It is the complete unveiling of all His glory. The very first chapter gives forty-one references of the Son of God. Revelation chapter one is a word portrait of the “Only Begotten Son.” In the first eight verses there are twenty-three redemptive titles or descriptive words concerning Jesus Christ that the angel gives John. All of these terms or titles relate to His life, His ministry, and His accomplishments and promises. The second half of the first chapter is the portrait of Him as the High Priest in the Father's heavenly temple. There are eighteen titles or descriptions of Him in His roles as our Advocate and Intercessor. Stephen got a little view of this great truth of His intercession when he saw Him “standing at the Father's right hand” (Acts 7:56). From the picture of Christ's glorious person, this story will take us through all the great End Time events until we walk down the streets of gold in the matchless city He has prepared for His Bride. The story is not all pretty, but it is all true and will transpire in the order in which the story tells it. The great thing about the Book of Revelation is that Jesus Christ wants you to be prepared and to be in Heaven, not on earth, as the story unfolds its dark scenes. Nobody whoreads this book before the Rapture and surrenders fully to Jesus Christ will have to endure the hellish events that will occur on earth. If there is just one reason above all others that He gave us this Book of Revelation, it is to educate you about what you can do to be on the right side as the story progresses. Do not let anyone make you think that the devil or his Antichrist and false prophets are the main characters of this book. They are not. The Son of God is the heart of this Revelation. His unveiling is so that we might see Him from His resurrection glory to His eternal presence in the new heaven and new earth. This is the theme of this book. His presence is the life of the story. While He is the life of Revelation, He is always in the very presence of His Father that gave Him as the sacrifice. He is called a Lamb more than any other of His great titles in the Book of Revelation because His death makes the whole story possible. The dark parts of Revelation are never meant to scare you but to show you the end of sin. This story will excite you to know that when sin is finished, the results will be heaven on earth. The Son of God directs every scene of horror because sin must be seen in its right character. While sin reveals all its ugliness, the rainbow over the Father's throne continually sends a message of mercy. Not one time in this book are sinners left without the opportunity to call on the God of all mercies. The story of Revelation is an honest look at sin but in the presence of a “Lamb as it had been slain” (Revelation 5:9). What a story this “Masterpiece” of all God's literature represents! This great Book of Revelation makes the whole Bible become a different book. Our God and His Son are at the center revealing their great love. God's Bible is not a narrow book as some may accuse. It is broad, so broad that no science or false theology has ever proven it wrong. The archeologists have searched the crust of the earth and have found much evidence of past history, but each new finding only proves that history is “His-story.” Read this book like a story and revel in its great revelations. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with a total surrender to Him for He lives in this great Book of Revelation, and you will be on the winning side.
