Book of Revelation
Revelation or the apocalypse means an unveiling. The book is the message of the unveiling or revealing of Jesus Christ. John the Baptist played a key role in the revealing of Christ to Israel at his first coming.
When asked whether he was the Christ, Elijah (who was to come as prophesied by Malachi 4:5) or the Prophet like unto Moses, (Deuteronomy 18:15f), John denied. (John 1:20, 21)
Rather, he explained his mission of baptizing as directly related to the revealing of the Messiah. "I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came ...

This text does harmonize with the AD70 return of Christ at the fall of Jerusalem.

The subject of Christ's return in AD 70 continues to be a major hurdle for believers, especially as it concerns eschatology and the faith. Many are not aware that the faith as system of salvation is achieved only through the consummation of the end times. In other words, it cannot be separated from the coming of the Lord.

Revelation Bible Study
One of the messages gleaned from Revelation Bible Study is that the end is not the end and by that we mean the end of time and or life on the planet. The Apocalypse sheds more light on the passages in the prophets and in the gospels which speak of the life and the message of God continuing after Jesus' return or parousia. The word parousia means presence. It affirms that Christ is here with believers today.
Obviously, this refers to His spiritual presence. Erroneously, many believers expect a physical bodily return of Christ of the same nature in ...
