Revelation
Revelation unveils a majestic, symbolic vision of Christ’s ultimate victory, written to encourage persecuted believers and warn of coming judgment. It opens with letters to seven churches and expands into apocalyptic scenes of seals, trumpets, bowls, and cosmic conflict. Central themes include the sovereignty of Christ, perseverance in tribulation, the defeat of evil, and the restoration of all things. The book climaxes with the return of Jesus, the final judgment, and the creation of a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1, Revelation 22:5). Its vivid imagery—dragons, beasts, the Lamb, Babylon—makes it one of the most discussed and interpreted texts in Scripture.
Author:
John – Apostle and Apocalyptic Visionary
John, exiled on the island of Patmos, identifies himself as the author. Traditionally believed to be John the Apostle, he received prophetic visions directly from Christ. As both witness and recorder, John blends Old Testament allusions, prophetic insight, and pastoral exhortation into a masterwork of eschatological theology. His authorship links Revelation to the Gospel and Epistles of John.
Time Period:
Biblical: Written during severe persecution under Roman rule, with references to martyrdom, spiritual warfare, and ultimate hope.
Scholarly: Commonly dated to AD 95–96, during Emperor Domitian’s reign. Some scholars suggest an earlier date around AD 68, under Nero.
