What is a SIMPLE description of the book of revelation?

Answer 1

It is the culmination of the entire Bible from Genesis on which fulfills all prophecies of "The Day of the Lord", restores repentant Israel, and ushers in the Millennium. It can be summarized in two words: "God wins!"

Answer:

"Three sets of Sevens":

1) Seven Seals, that describe dire world conditions prior to Jesus' return [the Day of the Lord]. The seventh seal [the Day of the Lord] is composed of:

2) Seven Trumpet Plagues from God, after which Jesus returns to gather His saints into the clouds above the earth at the "last Trump." Which is followed by the last:

3) Seven Vial Plagues [the completion of God's wrath] poured out on the earth, before Jesus, His saints and His angelic army descend from the clouds onto the earth making war, to establish the prophesied "Millennial Rule" of the Kingdom of God over the nations.

This is followed by "Judgment Day" and the creation of the "New Earth," upon which the Father in heaven shall desend in the Holy City, New Jerusalem, to live with His new-born "Divine Family" -- whereupon, the plan of God will be complete... and there will commence a "New Beginning"... ETERNITY.

"...He that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new... It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give unto him that is athirst of hte fountain of the Water of Life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things [the universe]; and I will be his God, and he shall be My Son." (Rev.21:5-7)
