REVELATION:
BOOK OF; ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE

God’s message in Revelation, viewed as a whole, is a prognosis of events affecting the entire created universe—“the things that must soon take place” (22:6). Those who give themselves to its reading will sense they are on a fast-moving guided tour, discerning a variety of scenes and events in John’s panoramic view of the heavens and earth. In quick succession he takes us from the highest heaven to the deepest hell. We hear the trumpets sounding in heaven and see the woes and judgments that follow upon the earth and its seas. Instead of repenting, people harden their hearts against the God who created them and loved them.…

We have in the Scriptures many appeals to be ready for that day. We are not to live just for now and for this world. We are to live each day with a view of the world above!

Titus 2:11–14; 1 John 3:2–3; Revelation 22:6
