One of the most literarily complex books ever written, scholars are still puzzling over the depth of meaning packed into these 22 chapters. Written from exile on the island of Patmos, John records heavenly visions and apocalyptic messages for the seven churches of Asia Minor. These churches were facing levels of persecution that suggested the end times to be near and John’s words no doubt provided strength and encouragement. The Book of Revelation offers a climactic vision of God's ultimate victory over evil, calling the church to faithfulness, courage, and hope. While its symbolic language can be challenging, its central message is clear: God is still in control, His presence is eternal, and He is coming back.
