The book of Revelation is a book of hope. It talks about how God defeats the evil of the world. It does so using symbols from the book of Daniel. apocalypse means a vision of God revealing the secret. The symbols of the book of Revelation come from the ancient cultures of the Old Testament. They are also from the Greek and Roman cultures of the time apocalypse was written. This was around 100 AD, the visions that John describes in this book are of Jesus. They have given hope to suffering believers since the time when John wrote them. apocalypse encourages believers to be faithful to Jesus. At the time of John, many had built temples in honor of the Roman empire. these were places where people could go to worship the emperor, as well as other gods. Followers of jesus who lived in this culture were often tempted to join the worship of their neighbors in the emperor's temple. the book of Revelation deals with this kind of unfaithful behavior. In fact it describes those who were faithful as wearing clean clothes made of fine linen.
The book of Revelation uses powerful imagery to explain the hope that believers have. Their hope comes from their faith in jesus, god's chosen king. this king is both powerful and gracious. apocalypse illustrates this with striking symbolism. To show his power, it describes Jesus with a sword coming out of his mouth. To show his grace, it describes him as a lamb and at the same time calls him a lion. symbols like these can confuse people today. Some seem strange or even frightening to us. their purpose must be taken into account. They contain meanings that are intended to encourage the followers of Jesus. This book is intended to show how God defeats evil, through Jesus Christ who died and rose again, gives hope to believers, letting them know that they can trust God to fix all the evil in the world.
