Unravelling the Book of Revelation - Episode 7 - Bruce Telfer

The word revelation means to reveal or disclose. In a special sense, the book of Revelation is meant to reveal vital issues to the New Testament Church—the end-­‐time Church in particular—about end-­‐time events. God does not want us to be ignorant about the future:

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7 NKJV).
God has always wanted people to be informed, aware, and warned about future difficulties. Throughout the history of Israel, He sent prophets to warn His people about future impending doom. It has always been God’s purpose to steer people away from calamity.
"For His church in every generation God has a special truth and a special work. The truth that is hid from the worldly wise and prudent is revealed to the child-like and humble. It calls for self-sacrifice. It has battles to fight and victories to win. At the outset its advocates are few. By the great men of the world and by a world-conforming church, they are opposed and despised. " ~ E.G. White
