<strong>REVELATION</strong><br />

The final book of God‟s special revelation to us is the book Revelation. This book is the final chapter<br />

where we are given a glimpse into God‟s plan to judge evil and usher in the end of all things. More importantly,<br />

this book gives us a picture of Jesus Christ in His glory, the Lamb with the right to open the<br />

scrolls of judgment upon the earth.<br />

Read Revelation 1<br />

Spend a few moments imagining this picture of Jesus in glory.<br />

Can you understand John‟s reaction in v17?<br />

What keeps us from such a reaction? Why is this not the posture of our heart daily?<br />

Read Revelation 4 and 5<br />

Is this how you imagine the throne room of God? Why or why not?<br />

Who is the Lamb in v6? (see v9)<br />

In what way does this picture of Christ‟s deity affect your view of Him?<br />

Having captured this image of Jesus<br />

Christ and been reminded of<br />

the fact that HE IS GOD, read<br />

chapters 2-3.<br />

Can you identify with any of the<br />

criticisms made of these<br />

churches?<br />

Could Christ offer you any of<br />

the commendations found in<br />

these verses?<br />

Christ sees our actions and<br />

knows our hearts. Be honest<br />

with yourself and ask Him to<br />

show you the reality of your sin<br />

in quiet prayer.<br />

What is God asking you to do?<br />

Read Revelation 21-22<br />

What hope do these chapters<br />

give you?<br />

How does this picture affect<br />

how you view your neighbors,<br />

co-workers, friends, and family<br />

that do not know Christ?<br />

How might the perspective that Christ will make all things right in the end change the way we live?<br />

How do our priorities change? How do our relationships change? How does our worship change?<br />

Spend some time in prayer thanking God for all He has done, all He is doing, and all He will do.<br />

“He who testifies to these things says, „Yes, I am coming soon.‟ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of<br />

the Lord Jesus be with God‟s people. Amen.” Rev. 22:20-21
