The Story of the Seer of Patmos #271517

Prophecy is often considered dark and mysterious. The Lord describes how prophecy given in vision, will be looked upon by many people. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I am not learned. The book of Revelation was never sealed for the angel said to John, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at. Hand. God has given the book of Revelation a title different from any other book in the Bible, signifying that it is Open to all. It is the revelation of Jesus Christ. He has pronounced a blessing upon every one who reads it, or even hears it read, Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. It is adapted to every mind, and is full of choice illustrations and Symbols, which will not only interest, but instruct the reader. It is a complete book in itself; for John was told What thou seest, write in a book. He then said that he bear record of the Word of God, and of all things that he saw.
