In this lesson, Pastor Chuck Smith provides a basic overview of the book of Revelation.  Pastor Chuck shows that the book represents the unveiling of Jesus Christ and the forecast of occurrences around His imminent return.  Jesus shows his authority and power and the book also shows His relation to the church, Israel, and all of mankind: Ultimately Jesus Christ is the future King of kings of all the Earth and of all the ages.Pastor Chuck shows that the blessings offered to those reading and hearing is also a call to faith and obedience. He continues to explain the difference between our timing and God's timing God's patience and His desire for everyone to repent.  Further, Pastor Chuck offers insight to the greetings reflected in Revelation which describes God the Father's eternal nature and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is referred to as a faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, the prince of kings of the earth and the liberator from our sins.  Christ has turned us into a kingdom of kings and priests but the glory and dominion will solely remain His permanently.  Pastor Chuck develops even further the visual representations of Jesus in the book— He among the seven golden candlesticks, (emblematic of the seven churches), and holding the seven stars, (symbolizing the church’s messengers or ministers).  Pastor Chuck brings us comfort by helping us see the personal involvement of Christ with His church, His bride.  Pastor Chuck notes three divine divisions in the Book of Revelation—the things John saw, the things that exist (a possible outline of church history), and the things to come, (before the millennial reign of Jesus Christ).Pastor Chuck notes that understanding these divisions is essential in interpreting the book. To conclude, Pastor Chuck urges believers to trust in Jesus while studying through the Book of Revelation, acknowledging Christ's presence, guidance and ministering in His church.  Jesus said “ to him who has ears let him hear with the spirit says to the churches”.  Remember Jesus’ promise of John 16 that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth.
