Summary

The book of Revelation was not written to create confusion for the Christian, cause division in the church, or promote speculation about the coming of Christ. In this message on Revelation 1:1–8, Pastor David Platt reminds us that the purpose of Revelation is to point us to the coming Christ. Revelation was written to give unshakeable hope to suffering Christians, encourage unwavering holiness in a seductive culture, refute deception in the church, and fuel mission among the nations. Historically, Christians hold to three different views of Revelation.

0:10.8	All right, if you have a Bible, and I hope you do, I invite you to open with me to
0:16.2	Revelation Chapter 1.
0:20.2	Revelation Chapter 1 and wire. that.
0:23.4	Revelation chapter one and while you're turning there, let me go ahead and invite you to also turn to

1:08.8	study the book of revelation.
1:11.2	So truth be told, I've been hesitant, even a little bit nervous, because of what a challenging
1:17.7	book revelation seems to be, and it can be a challenging book.
1:21.1	I read somewhere that revelation is the book that people in the church

1:40.0	And it can be tough, just sit down, you reading you know go through your quiet time in the morning you find yourself
1:46.7	meditating on an apocalyptic monster and you're thinking I don't know what good this does for me today like not sure how to apply this monster to my morning
