(John Walvoord, Every Prophecy of the Bible, p. 645 last paragraph of book!) The book of Revelation, placed last in the Scriptures, introduced the broad theme of the Revelation of Jesus Christ in the opening verses. Subsequently, the major events that followed revealed the power, the righteousness, the sovereignty of Christ and also His marvelous grace for those who come to Him in faith. The Bible does not present in any other book quite as stark a picture of the awfulness of sin, the certainty of divine judgment, and, by contrast, the wonder of being a child of God who is promised eternal blessing in the presence of the Saviour. In a sense, all the prophetic revelation, from Genesis up to the Book of Revelation, finds its summation and its climax in the Book of Revelation. Those who read the Book of Revelation today and are captured by its graphic revelation should sense the fact that while these events have not been fulfilled, they could be very quickly, and the time for preparation for end-time events is now.
