Whilst Adrian is on holiday he has asked me to guest blog, so here is my first effort. (I hope it is okay Adrian)<\/span>
<\/span>
The Book of Revelation must be the least read book in the New Testament. <\/span>
A lot of Christians have either never read the whole book or having read it once have decided it is too difficult and have thereafter left it well alone.<\/span>
Yet God considered it so important that he made sure it was included in the canon of Holy Scripture. This should give us a hint that we also should consider it an important book.<\/span>
Too often people hear that it is \u2018too difficult\u2019, \u2018you wont understand it\u2019, \u2018too much imagery\u2019.<\/span>
Oh yes, and don\u2019t forget that you do not want to get caught up in all that \u2018Pre-Mill\u2019 \u2013 \u2018Post Mill\u2019 stuff, best just stay away from it.<\/span>
As a young Christian I heard all these and more and did for a while leave it alone, but then, praise God, I read through the NT 50-60 times over a 5 year period and discovered that 90-95% of Revelation is actually very clear.<\/span>
God put it there for a reason, just as He did with the rest of Scripture. Read it, pray over it and most important of all, learn from it.<\/span><\/p>\n
