Revelation - the last book in the bible

It is last because it needs the rest of the bible to understand it.

Revelation is frequently not understood

Revelation was written over 1900 years ago in a symbolic style that makes it difficult for us to understand. Yet there are keys to help us understand its message. The main key to understanding Revelation lies in knowing the rest of the bible because all the symbolism of Revelation is contained in the Old and New Testaments. The reason that we do not understand Revelation is that we do not know our bible.

Revelation is God's last letter to the Church. It is designed to show the spiritual significance of earthly events over the next 2,000 years. The Church would go through periods of intense persecution - it helps answer the question 'where is God in all this'? It shows God on the throne in control. It shows Jesus as Lord of lords and King of kings. It shows the defeat of God's enemies and eternal bliss for those who overcome. Satan might seem to have the victory but ultimately he is defeated and was defeated at the cross.

It is a book about worship and idolatry - who do we worship? Is it the beast or the Lamb?
