6For too many Christians, Revelation is a closed book-they have considered its mysteries and symbols too difficult to understand, and have in effect passed it by. All too often the topics addressed in Revelation are not dealt with from the pulpit. Much of its contents are ridiculed as being unimportant to the real issues and beliefs of the Christian faith. This is deception. Revelation is in fact rich in devotional instruction and so important to God that He promises a blessing upon those who diligently study its pages. This book has been written to provoke your interest and inspire you to further study of the Book of Revelation in the hope that the promised blessing of God will be yours.
