The majority of people today avoid the book of Revelation, saying it is hard if not impossible to understand. We might ask if this is the case, why would a God who has revealed Himself to man and wants us to understand His ways, allow such a book to have been written and preserved through the ages?

To those who will make an effort, God even pronounces a blessing. Hopefully this book will help many to better understand this final book and capstone of God’s cannon of His revealed truth for us. It is the goal of this writing to present an account true to scripture that is understandable to the lay reader.

The funny thing about this is that if we meet their expectations of who it is that we need to be in their lives, they will exceed our dreams of what we want for them in their lives.
