Seven reasons you should keep coming back to the book of Revelation (Rev. 22:6-21)

  The book of Revelation is about the coming of Christ.  Of course, it is more than that, but it is ultimately about that.  All the book strains towards this end.  All the stuff about the conflict between the people of God and the enemies of God are set in the context of the coming of Jesus who will return to set all things right and finally destroy all his and our enemies.  The promises to the churches in chapters 2-3 are predicated upon his return and the full establishment of his kingdom.  The scroll that Jesus receives from the Father in chapter 5 as the Lion-Lamb is the scroll that contains God’s purposes for the end of history, an end that culminates in the return of Christ.  You see this in the cycles of judgment in chapters 6-16 – the seals, the trumpets, and the bowls of wrath.  They all end either right before or in the Second Coming of our Lord.  The persecution that you see waged by the dragon, the beasts, and Babylon against the people of God in chapters 17-19 is overturne
