God’s people would experience as they waited for their Lord’s return. The book that John wrote reveals Jesus’ work in heaven and on earth since His ascension and what He will do when He returns. It was intended to assure Christians through the ages of Christ’s presence and to sustain them as they experience the trials of daily life amid a fallen world immersed in the great controversy. This Book reveals Jesus Christ, His Life, His Death, His resurrection, and His high priestly ministry in behalf of His people. “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are worsen therein; for the time is ah hand” (Rev. 1:3)
