Book of Revelation

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 ...

Secondly, it is used to contradict Moses. Thirdly, it ...
