Terror & Triumph: A Study of Revelation

Ever find yourself enthralled in a suspenseful book or movie, trying to figure out how it will end? The Book of Revelation has inspired such curiosity since it was written and it continues to be a hot topic today. It is often difficult to discern and its interpretation can divide Christians, sometimes sharply. But this should not dissuade us from studying it. We will help ourselves in understanding this book that is so often hard to fathom if we recognize that its teachings are more about God and God’s Christ than about the future, whatever its details.

The God of the Book of Revelation is a God who inspires awe. Indeed, God’s conquest of his enemies occurs so easily that even when the scene is set for a great battle, what we see is not a battle but a quick victory. In fact, in the background of the entire Book of Revelation, even of the battle scenes, is the truth that the victory has been won already. The victory was won at the cross of Christ, the Lamb of God, before which we can only bow in awe.

If you need encouragement, hope, and strength for dealing with difficult circumstances; that is what you will find in the Book of Revelation. In vivid pictures, this book reminds us that God will overcome everything that opposes him and threatens his people.
