Revelation 1:1-3 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

At the right time, God reveals His mysteries (what has been hidden for ages) to us. A day is coming and has been foretold when the end of this world and life as we know it will cease. The book of revelation is not some rambling of a weirdo imagination but rather the words of God Himself given to man so that we might know that the end time is at hand. God makes these revelations known to reveal His all-knowing, all-powerful, and supreme control over His creation. He makes it known to reveal His love. He makes it known knowing that it will harden some hearts more and other hearts will be softened and come to saving grace knowledge of Jesus Christ. He makes it known to give people warning. He makes it known to give people hope. Just because some of this revelation seems hard to understand and the full mystery of it has not been made clear does not make it less certain. Man will choose to believe it or not but the fact remains the end of the world will come. To some, they do not believe there is life after death or that there is a judgment after death. They do not believe in heaven or hell. They do not believe in God. Oh that their heart would soften, the scales would fall off their eyes and they see, and their deaf ears made to hear of the Love of God through Jesus Christ and be saved.
