The book of Revelation is fascinating. But it is so much more than fascinating because it weaves together in symbolic form the final outcome of God's intentions for all creation. It is the last of God's direct communications to the world until Jesus returns. It ties together the main events that the course history has taken, and will take, up to the final climax that ushers in the eternal state of all creation. I hope I have rightly handled the Word of Truth and, as a consequence, will have made the message of Revelation clear to you. If it strengthens and blesses you, I will be content. If it glorifies Christ and adds to the honor that is due Him from your heart, my labors will be amply rewarded. James Duren, A servant of Jesus Christ
