REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND! /Chapter One - Searching Out Divine Secrets

An even stronger reason for publishing this book is the need to keep up-to-date with present truth.  Jehovah is continually shedding greater light on the meaning of his Word, and we can expect  that our understanding of Revelation, along with other prophecies, will be sharpened as we draw closes to the great tribulation. (Matthew 24:21; Revelation 7:14) It is important that we be well informed. As the apostle Peter wrote concerning divine prophecy: "You are doing well in paying attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until day dawns and a daystar rises, in your hearts. - 2 PETER 1:19.

Revelation adds it testimony to many other Bible prophecies, showing that Jehovah God purposes to create new heavens and a new earth.  (Isiah 65:17; 66:22; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-5) Primarily, its message is addressed to anointed Christians, whom Jesus has bought with his blood to become corulers with him in the new heavens. (Revelation 5:9, 10)  Nevertheless, this good news will also fortify the faith of those millions who look forward to everlasting life under Christ's Kingdom.  Are you one of these? Then Revelation will strengthen your hope of living in Paradise, as part of the new earth, with the enjoyment of an abundance of peace, vibrant health, and an overflow of God's provisions that will never end.  (Psalm 37:11,29, 34; 7:21, 7, 8, 16) If you want  to survive into that new world, it is urgent, yes, mandatory, that  you pay attention to Revelation's  graphic description of the epoch-making climax now at hand. - ZEPHANIAH 2:3; JOHN 13:17.
