The Book Of Revelations Research Paper

Decent Essays
Revelations has a lot of insight on what the end times looks like even though it's scattered and vague. The book of revelations is written by the apostle John. He was deserted on an island after sharing the gospel with everyone he could. God told John to write to the seven churches in Asia. Numbers play a huge part in revelations. Numbers are everywhere in Revelations but we don't have an official clue on what they mean. We know what some mean, but not all of them make sense.

John is taken up to heaven by God and shown what it looks like. He also shows him what it is like to worship Jesus. When we see worship we see the four living creatures in Revelations praising God day and night. Revelations speaks of the overcoming of

    For the follower of King Messiah there comes some many forthright questions which need to be answered in the regards of revelation of the Bible, how the Bible was inspired,and what is the authority of the Bible. In other words: is the Bible speaking to me? How do I know the Bible is not just another document? Why should this old book have authority over me? These are valid questions which many believers today take for granted.…

    It is amazing that all through the New Testament there are happenings that fulfill what was written in the Old Testament. No body can write history in advance and tell you exactly what is going to happen in advance but God. If a book written thousands of years ago can tell me what is happening today, I am going to believe God wrote it. When one first starts to…

    In this essay, I will be talking about what I believe to be true from what Jesus tells us in the Bible, about being the Son of God and how He was here to die on the cross for our sins, showing everyone who He was and who ever believe in Him is save, or healed if they were sick. In this paper, I will be talking about the trustworthiness and historicity of the Gospels. The historical reliability of the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles, and did Jesus claim to be God. Did his disciples believe he was God? The accuracy of the resurrection accounts in the Gospels, that is, did Jesus rise bodily from the dead?…

    Another number is four, which pops up when discussing how long Velutha disappeared for; four years (73). While this ruins the trope of a Christ figure disappearing or dying for three units of time (three days, three months, three years, etc.), it also gives us the opportunity to play with the number four. While quartets, inevitably, occur several times in a work as long as the Bible, the most symbolism-heavy one is the four horsemen. The four horsemen is a seriously morbid omen to place on someone pure enough to be established as a Christ figure, but when considering how after his return Rahel and her family 's lives begin to spiral, it 's certainly an omen that came…

    The Book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible, and one that has been the topic of many debates over the years. Revelation is the prophetic book written by John the Apostle around A.D. 95, while he was exiled to the island of Patmos. The purpose of this book was to encourage Christians to remain faithful while we wait for Christ's return and to offer hope that we have the victory in the end. The key themes of this book include Christ's return, the faithfulness of Christians, God's sovereignty, and the final judgment of all people. John describes the visions he experienced after God sent an angel give him this prophecy.…

    The “open door” in Revelation 4:1, I believe is symbolic to the time of evacuation of the Church before Tribulation. It; it is the door to heaven. I believe in a “rapture” or “translation” of the believer before the tribulation. Jesus will come down from heaven and call up the church. He will then return to His Father’s house, heaven.…

    seven is the number of “the divine ordering of worldly affairs”, that is why the seven Angels who yield seven trumpets will represent a book of seven seals to John and each seal represents an event that will occur during the ends times. There were also seven sections in each of the seven letters written to the seven churches. Each seal represents a judgment that will pass on earth after the sound of the trumpet and by the 6th trumpet “1/3 of the earth’s population will be killed” while those who remain will consist of the people who have not repented (Revelation 9:20). John then receives visions of the antichrist and Satan, seven more angels appear with seven bowls of severe plagues, rather than repenting mankind will “blasphemed God” because of the horror of the plagues. The reason for the horrid plagues are because of God’s judgments on the wicked earth full of unbelievers.…

    The beast from the sea is described as having “seven heads, ten horns,” and a leopard-like form with the “feet of a bear” and the “mouth of a lion.” The second beast, referred to as a false prophet, comes out of Earth and demands people to worship the first beast. Throughout history, people have tried to identify whom Revelation could be referring to as the “beast of the sea” by using the number. They do so by using Koine Greek or Ancient Hebrew alphabets, as numbers in those languages were represented by letters, which made it easy to translate any name into a number. Some scholars think that that alphanumeric code points to one, or at the least the first “beast” of Revelation: Nero.…

    Regrettably, general revelation does not yield specific information about God ("revelation," n.d.), something more focused and narrowed was needed (Enns, 2014). Special revelation, in the form of Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures, closes the gap and reveals God in all His glory (Enns, 2014). Jesus, as God revealed (Hebrews 1:3), fully represents His true nature and allows us to know Him intimately (Enns, 2014). The incarnate Word (John 1:1), combined with the living, written Word (Hebrews 4:12) of the Holy Bible, provides the human race the means to salvation (Enns, 2014) and insight into our spiritual condition ("revelation," n.d.). The Holy Bible, and the Holy Spirit, as the overseer of Scripture’s human writers, provides us an accurate representation of both general revelation and God’s special revelation in the form of Jesus Christ (Enns, 2014).…

    Throughout the last few years, I believe that I have matured and grown into a positive role model and an intelligent young woman, neither of which would have been possible without the lifestyle that I was raised in. I was raised in a southern Baptist family and within my religious views, I have continually watched myself and others around me mature in our walk with Jesus, and watch how interaction with people of the same beliefs can strengthen a person’s religion. My first thought of this class was one like I am sure many of my classmates had, this class is going to be like a church sermon or Sunday School class every week. I was confused as to how my classmates and I were going to be tested on material like that preached on in churches on…
