The Revelation of Jesus Christ The book of Revelation, as it was given to John the apostle, is full of types, symbols and graphic images. Can any of it be understood? The bible itself can give an explanation for the ideas expressed in Revelation. The book itself says you will receive a special blessing for reading and heeding it's words. I hope once you have read this book that you will have a greater understanding of what God wants you to know about this very important book written by John. You will see Satan's defeat, God's victory and our eternity with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless.
