BIBLE STUDY : REVELATION

Chapter One
Revelation is a book of comfort in a world hostile to Christianity. Jesus says Christians will be persecuted by the world because of the Gospel. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulations: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Jesus also comforts us by telling us that He has already overcome the world. The outcome is not uncertain. The Church has prevailed because Christ has already prevailed for her. Revelation simply repeats and reinforces Jesus' teaching.
