Preface Let me introduce you to one of the greatest treasures God has given us in the Bible—the Book of Revelation. You would naturally suppose that the last book in the Bible would be the easiest to understand. Even the title assures us that God wants us to understand it—"The Revelation of Jesus Christ." If God had intended the book to be hard to understand, would He not have given it a different title, such as "The Hiding," or 'The Obscuring of Jesus Christ"? It is a mistake to suppose that it is hard to understand, or without meaning. God will not mislead us! One Sunday afternoon I was trying to read the Book of Revelation when our pastor called to visit us. "I can't understand this book," I pleaded. "Can you explain it to me? "He put his hand on my head and smiled as he answered, "Do not try to read that book. It is 2
sealed, and nobody can understand it! You should try to read something else. "But his answer did not satisfy me, for I had already read as far as the third verse, which says: "Blessed is he who reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it." I had learned for myself already that the book was not sealed. I determined that I would seek this promised "blessing." I discovered that God has indeed revealed the Saviour in this book. He never fails to honor that promise of "blessing" to anyone who will prayerfully and diligently study this last book in the Bible. Like a hot, tired traveller longing to plunge into the clear, cool waters of a river, you are now invited to plunge into the study of this intensely interesting Book written by the apostle John. You will be refreshed and delighted with the understanding you will gain. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all 3
