The Book of Revelation
Manage episode 514059324 series 3666322
The Book of Revelation, the final book of the New Testament, was written by the apostle John, traditionally identified as John the Evangelist, around 95-96 AD while he was exiled on the island of Patmos. Addressed to seven churches in Asia Minor, it is an apocalyptic work, rich in symbolic imagery, that unveils divine visions of God’s ultimate plan for humanity, including the return of Jesus Christ, the defeat of evil, and the establishment of a new heaven and new earth. Written during a time of Roman persecution of Christians, it offered hope and encouragement to believers, urging perseverance through trials. Its vivid depictions of seals, trumpets, bowls, and cosmic battles draw heavily from Old Testament prophecy, particularly Daniel and Ezekiel, and its genre blends epistolary, prophetic, and apocalyptic elements to convey God’s sovereignty and the triumph of His kingdom.
