I used to be afraid to read the book of Revelation in the Bible.
When I was growing up the image I had of that book was that it was really powerful, spooky, hard to understand and scary.
One day I received a revelation that it is like a flashlight illuminating what is going to happen.
It is not to be feared, it is a spiritual map of what is to come.
Now I read, learn and act instead of avoid, fear and resist.
Revelation 1:3
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and who keep the things which are written in it; for the time is near.
