The Book of Revelations


The book of Revelation is one of the most unread book of the bible. This is not because of the volume of the book, but because it is one of the books that is not easily understood. Many who read it only have an academic knowledge while a lot have abandoned this book.
The book was written by one of the disciples of Jesus- John. John was a fisherman when Jesus called him and in Israel at that time, the caste system in their schools puts the best students as Pharisees and Sadducees while the worst are the fishermen. So, John was a man who had little or no academic prowess.
With that knowledge of who the writer was, we can see that the book of Revelation is not a book that can be understood academically. Actually, I believe that it is a sealed book. (Another sealed book in the bible is Genesis). The book cannot be understood unless it is opened to you.
The book is largely about the end times and it is the most elaborate book in the bible about the crucial period that we are already in. The latter part of the book of Daniel also said a lot about the end times, but not as much as Revelation.
The first verse of the book said the entire book is revealing Jesus which makes it very important as we need to be able to recognize Jesus in this dark times. John C. Maxwell said the main event of the book is "the revealing of Jesus to the world's inhabitants in the final days".
If you understand the book of Revelation, there are some businesses you will not put your money into in this last days. There are some Government policies that you would distant yourself from. It's not a spooky book that has no earthly relevance. It's a book meant to guide us into Jesus in this times.
The book is sealed for a purpose. It is not sealed from us, it is sealed for us. A dimension of God that is heavily needed in this end times is the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. You must continuously ask the LORD for more and more of this as you study the book so that you can be well equipped to live accurately in this end times.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

Shameful Calling?

After my last story about David, the official bastard. I got a call from someone, a lady and she said "Olanrewaju, can you please share my story on your blog? It would encourage your readers". After considering it, I decided to hear it first, but after I heard her story, I knew it would be perfect for you! I interviewed her and this is what I got: Olanrewaju: Can you please share your story with me? My New Friend: I will tell you about my life before I got married. I was a very modest lady who attracted praises from her parents, respect from the church members, admiration from the young men and of course, envy from some sisters. However, I remained humble, purposeful and pure. Even the pastor used me as an example as he was preaching one of his long sermons. Olanrewaju (thinking): That's a wonderful résumé! My New Friend: I got engaged to a young man in our church. He was God-fearing and he loved me with the whole of his heart. We had our introduction in a mod...
