Direct students to write “ 96 A.D., during the Church Age” in answer to the

4. WHY? Why was THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
written?
a. A more difficult question.
It is slightly more difficult to answer this question than it has been to
answer the others. Where do you suppose we should go to find the
answer?
Bring four or five reference books and encyclopedias to class. At this point
pick up the books and quickly distribute them. Work fast and keep moving.
Children are smart. If you wait too long someone will ruin your
demonstration.
How about dictionaries, resource books, encyclopedia, etc? Here, help me pass
out these heavy books. Perhaps, we will find the answer in one of these books.
Can you find anything that tells us why the Book of Revelation was written?
Start looking up the answer. I‟ll be looking, too.
What heading should we look under? Should we look under “R” for
“REVELATION” ? Why are you just sitting there? You don‟t know where

the answer is in the book of Revelation, itself. Go over the first Chapter,
again. Do you see a statement that might help? Is there anything that might
tell us why the book of Revelation was written? Look carefully at verse
#11.
b. To send to seven churches.
