Book Of Revelation In Poetic Form!!!

REVELATION

The final book in the Bible is called The Revelation

It is all about many a vision

John the apostle received while being exiled at Patmos

Dealing mostly about the future of the cosmos

In Chapter 1, it all begins with a vision of Jesus Christ in awesome majesty

As opposed to His earthly form, which was all humility

In Chapters 2 and 3 Jesus speaks about the spiritual condition of seven churches in Turkey

About some He is happy and about some, He is all anxiety

These 7 churches are symbol of the Church age

Their issues and problems are commonly found in Church history’s every stage

In essence, Jesus is concerned about their bright love for Him

Which by vagaries of time, should not grow dim

Then in Chapters 4 and 5 there is a vision about the Throne of God

The throne, is symbolic of all the sovereign power God has got

This vision was to assure John that God is in ultimate control,

Before being given the visions of Earth coming under Evil’s temporary control

Before the tribulation time arrives, will be the Church rapture

The Church-the tribulation time- will not be able to capture

In case, you have not yet accepted Christ

Accept Him NOW, before the advent of Anti-Christ

From chapters 6 to 16 are recorded the Seals, Trumpet and Bowl judgment

Which come upon the people who mostly do not repent

Like the Egyptian woes, they slowly increase in severity

Bringing in their wake, many a catastrophe

At the start of tribulation

Will come the Anti-christ who would eventually lead the world to its annihilation

In the beginning, achieving worldwide peace would appear to be his goal

Little would people realize that he would mislead them to Hell’s gaol

Towards end of chapter 6 after the seals judgment, when unbelievers are hiding in many a secret place

In chapter 7, we see that the sealing of 144000 Jewish evangelists takes place

they would take the Gospel to every place

nothing would harm them, in any place

Chapters 8 and 9 are about the Trumpets judgment

To God’s anger, they give vent

They destroy 1/3rd of all of the existing creation

Readying the wicked world for complete destruction

In chapter 10, there is a visit of a mighty angel

About the impending greater wrath, he comes to tell

In Chapter 11, we see of the 2 prophets their bold witness

To make people repent, they perform great miracles, working in harness

In Chapter 12, there is of Israel a revelation

How, it would come under Anti-Christ’s great persecution

That is the time that Chosen nation

Would after national repentance, accept God’s –in Christ- great salvation (Romans 11:26)

Before the Bowl judgments arrive

There are visions of how evil will thrive

In Chapter 13, we see reign of unholy trinity,

With Satan, the two evil ones’ -Anti-Christ and False prophet- would ally

These 2 evil men empowered by Satan the dragon

Will rule the world with power not seen, from the time sin began

The terrible duo would eventually be defeated in the war at Armageddon

And cast into the lake of fire –an eternal suffering den

In Chapter 14, there is Gospel proclamation for the first time by an angel

It flies in midair, proclaiming the Gospel

Then through the Grain and Grape harvest vision

There is a portrayal of imminent Bowl judgment and Armageddon annihilation

Chapter 15, sets the stage for Bowl judgment

On World’s ecology, it would create a terrible dent

In chapter 16, begin terrible punishments of bowl

Even then, without repenting the hard-hearted at God would scowl

In Chapter 17 we see how the harlot- the false religious system-during tribulation,

With the help of the Antichrist the beast would lead people to spiritual destruction

But as in the case of many an opportunistic, unholy alliance

This too would crumble with the harlot receiving Divine comeuppance

Chapter 18 signals the end of Babylon-Antichrist’s commercial empire

Under God’s wrath by the Seventh Bowl Judgment, it would expire

Chapter 19 is all about Christ’s triumphant return planned from eternity

And it would lead to the defeat of the unholy trinity

While Satan would be bound and released at the end of the millennium

Anti-Christ and False Prophet would suffer in hell, the maximum

Before Christ’s reign for a thousand years

Would be the separation of the wheat from the tares

All those who accepted him during the tribulation

Would enter the Millennium kingdom in mortal bodies with exultation

The unrepentant survivors of tribulation, who represent the tares

Would now be slain and their spirits bound in hades

In Chapter 20, we see in the Millennium, along with Christ would be ruling

the redeemed of all ages, and for a greater part, it would a time most thrilling
