The Book of Revelation: Apocalypse

The following is a very short synopsis on the Book of Revelation.

Revelation or the Apocalypse means in Greek, the unveiling or uncovering. Revelation is a Book for those who have an ear to hear, and the ability to read with understanding. Not taking away from, or adding to the verses or chapters. The Book of Revelation is a marvelous account of how the end of days are going to be.


The most fascinating aspect about our heavenly Father is—he keeps his word. Everything that our Father has said, or promised has and will come to pass. He never says, “maybe this will happen,” or “maybe I'll do that.” No, our Father Yahweh keeps his word.

We also read in the Book of Revelation how the majority of churches have gone astray from God's/Yahweh's reality of his church. We recognize and understand that our Father is not pleased with the majority of the churches. However, he gives us two examples of the churches that he is pleased with Smyrna and Philadelphia, and what rewards will be given to those churches in heaven. He also lets us know what displeases him regarding the other five churches, giving them a remedy to successfully change in order to inherit the kingdom of God/Yahweh. Although it is clearly stated that judgment begins in the pulpit, those who have an ear to hear, and the ability to understand, will recognize when they are not being spiritually fed and will study and read God's/Yahweh's letter accordingly. Therefore, when judgment does enter the church they will be among those few who have been pleasing and acceptable in God's/Yahweh's eyes.

It is clearly stated that God/Yahweh will shield his faithful children through the horrific destruction and God's/Yahweh's wrath mentioned throughout Revelation. There has been much controversy concerning the whereabouts of Mystery Babylon, the country that will experience God's/Yahweh's wrath in one hour. Through the signs, characteristics and descriptions, a lot would agree that America is Mystery Babylon; however, we will not know until that time arrives. But we do know that our Father is fair and just in his judgments. Those who have lived holy and righteously will be rewarded in heaven having their robes made white in the blood of the Lamb. 

Only a few will enter into our heavenly Father's kingdom. Some will have the ability to be taught during the millennium; however, once those thousand years have passed, they will only be judged according to their righteous works. Today, it is so easy for good Christians to miss the mark. That is why it is imperative that we read and study God's/Yahweh's word, his letter sent to us, in order to have a relationship with our heavenly Father. On judgment day we want to hear, “Well done,” not “I never knew you.”

What a glorious world this would be if everyone lived according to our heavenly Father's Word; thus, we know that his prophecy must be fulfilled. However, it is a glorious time for God's/Yahweh's faithful servants, having the knowledge that during this last generation, which we are in, that we are shielded and protected by the Blood of the Lamb. Shalom.
