I am regularly asked what the book of Revelation means to someone
today. In order to answer those queries, I must relate the book of
Revelation, written by John, to the other works written by all four
"gospel" writers. In all four writings (Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John)
Jesus has a lot to say about the end times and the final days.
Jesus describes 10 separate events leading to the end times. In most
cases, these are listed, in sequence, in the three synoptic gospels
(Mark, Matthew and Luke). Each of these writers had a separate and
concise description of what the end times would be like. John, however,
separated his writings about the end times into a separate book, which
he called Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Apocalypse: a revelation or disclosure. Strongs Greek & Hebrew
Dictionary says it is from Greek G575, (apo) and G2572 (kalupto);
to take off the cover, i.e., disclose - reveal.
The book of Revelation, in John's words, discloses or reveals some
factors or events of the end times.:
In this book, Revelations About Revelation, we are going to stick to
the meaning of apocalypse as a revelation or disclosure of Jesus Christ.
Why do I have the boldness to continue in this effort, so different
from what many authors have written? I believe that is precisely what
Almighty wants me, and you(p) to do.
