A REVELATION TO JOHN -this thrilling book of the Bible brings the divine record to a happy climax, Why do we say "happy"? Well, the Author of the Bible is described as "the happy God." who entrusts "glorious good news" to those who love him wants us to be happy too. Thus, at the outset Revelation assures us: "Happy is he who reads . . . the words of the prophecy. "In its final chapter were are told: "Happy is anyone observing the words of the prophecy of this scroll." - 1 TIMOTHY 1:11; REVELATION 1:3: 22:7.
How do we find happiness through the book of Revelation? We do so by searching out the meaning of its vivid signs, or symbols, and acting in harmony therewith. Mankind's turbulent history will soon reach a catastrophic climax, as God and Jesus Christ execute judgment on today's wicked system, replacing it with "a new heaven and a new earth, "where even "death will be no more." (Revelation 21:1, 4) Do not all of us want to live in such a world, in true peace and security? We can if we build up our faith through the study of Gods Word, including the stirring prophecy of Revelation.
