The Bible Is Alive !

Comparing and contrasting different written works is a key aspect to discovering truths about the Christian Bible. When we compare and contrast canonical books, we can learn many things about the theology and context in which these books were written. Today, we will be comparing two books from the New Testament: Hebrews and Revelation. While Hebrews is often referred to as an epistle, it is actually more similar to a sermon. Revelation is a book that describes a supposed “vision” from the author John. John wrote this vision down on the instruction of a heavenly figure. While we compare these books, we will specifically focus on their relation to Judaism and their positions on Judaism. We will examine three major difference and/or similarities: Their views on the relevance of Jewish History, the superiority of Christ, and, the Second coming of the Messiah.

B. Explanation of allusion: This is the last book of the New Testament. Unlike all of the other books, Revelation is apocalyptic. It uses visions, symbols, and allegory to predict the future. This book is made up of a series of letters, and is believed to have been written by a Christian leader, John who was imprisoned on the island of Patmos. The basis of these writings were John's vision from heaven that provided comfort to the persecuted Christians ("Revelation").

Book Summary: Revelations were written around A.D. 96 by John. It is an apocalyptic book describing the revelation Jesus Christ gave to John. It was written for all Christians.

Revelations is a very misunderstood book. Its genre is an Apocalypse, a Prophecy, and an Epistle. John is the author and he wrote it in approximately 85-95 A.D. He wrote it while in prison on the Island of Patmos. To understand the book of Revelations we must first understand that John is describing the beginning of the end of the world as we know it.

The Book of Revelation is the final book in the Bible. It is essentially how the end of the world will happen. Only five chapters are examined throughout The Stand. The Letters to the Churches of Asia are letters to each of the seven churches that

The book of Revelations is another major literary form also known as the apocalypse or unveiling, Revelations features the unseen world inhabited by both good and evil creatures and urges us as believers to follow Christ each and every day and to always have faith in him. As we study the books we find numerous apocalyptic concepts involving eschatology or study of worlds end.

On one hand, some believe that the Book of Revelation was the message from Jesus Christ’s which was sent directly to Christians of the first century to comfort them in a time of conflict and struggle. On the other hand, some comprehend the book of Revelation in another way—They argue that the Revelation was not written only for Christians in first century, and the original purpose was not to console their pain. It’s also important to explore these different approaches to interpret the Revelation. The first kind of view which I hold is called the Preterist view. And the other view which considers Revelation to be fulfilled in past history is called the Historicist view. Historicists would “see Revelation as predicting the major movements of Christian history, most of them have been fulfilled up to the time of the commentator.” According to this description, the historicist interpreters regard the purpose of the Book of Revelation as predicting a part of the future (which in this case means after the1st century). Different commentators in different time interpreted the Book of Revelation in different ways, but all of them only considered the history before the time when they studied it. But if Jesus Christ was to show the future, why did he just show a part of it rather than the whole Christian history? To answer this question, a new school called the futurist view emerged. “The futurist view

According to Harris (2015), Apocalyptic works essentially reveal something that was previously hidden, such as the future or the unseen spirit world. Apocalyptic authors, including the author of Revelations, often reveal a vision in which they meet supernatural beings, such as angels or monsters, who speak of God’s future intentions. The Book of Revelation is filled with symbolism used to paint a picture of events that show the battle between good and evil. For example, Jesus is described as the lamb of God. A lamb that is small and harmless, yet dies to save the world from sin. The dragon, who symbolizes satan, causes readers to react fearfully. The lamb defeats the dragon, or the light triumphs over the dark, and the dragon is sent back into

E-The book of Revelation uses three genres: the Apocalyptic, The Epistolary and the Prophetic. It starts with a man named John on an island named Patmos in the Aegean. He then wrote a letter to several churches in Asia. In which he describes his vision of the second coming of Jesus Christ and, the Coming apocalypse with more vision of the future war that well be the end of the world. The book of revelation focus on three events (1:19) that will bring about the end of times, the seven seals must

The second detail of revelation is that God will reveals himself to us when we are ready. This means that God is all knowing and only he will know when

The Apocalypse of John, otherwise known as the book of Revelation, is a climatic example of apocalyptic literature, ultimately ending with the end of the earthly world and the second coming of Christ. The final text dated around 95 CE, the author identifies himself as “John” in the first chapter of the book, causing many to believe that John the Apostle, who allegedly wrote the book of John, also authored this apocalyptic text; however, scholars agree that John the Apostle wrote no books of the New Testament, and therefore the author of Revelation is another unknown John (Ehrman 2014, 367). No matter the authorship, the book of Revelation poses many questions to biblical scholars, especially questions on what the symbolic texts means in historical context, and how the text should be interpreted by a contemporary, twenty-first century audience.

The book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John during 85-95 A.D. The purpose of the book of Revelation is to encourage believers that the day is coming when the whole world will be judged, and that our redemption is near. To non believers it is to warn them of the day that they will be judged, and the day when they will have to pay for their sins. When John wrote the book of Revelation he was deserted on the island of Patmos, and an angel came to him and gave him the vision. John describes the seven seals and how Jesus is the only one worthy to open them. He also describes the seven bowls, or seven plagues that will be poured out upon the earth. John explains that even after hail is raining down on the earth people will still not repent.

"The Bible is indeed made up of many different stories that are compiled in the sixty-six books of the Bible, but they all tell one overarching story; God's story. All the stories of the Bible, while not seeming to fit together at first glance, flow together to create the story of God. From the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation, God is there, and He reveals Himself and His plan for us through the different stories (Everyday Bible Study, pg. 3-4). The Old Testament tells us the history of humans and why we need a Savior and also points to the coming of that Savior, Jesus, whose life is recorded in the gospels of the New Testament.

The book of Revelation was written by the apostle John, in an apocalyptic literature style. It consists of a series of prophecies about the end times, when Jesus will return and triumph over all the evil residing in the world. Its purpose is to bring hope and encouragement to Christians so that they will continue watching for the return and victory of Jesus Christ, but it is also a warning of the Final Judgment that nonbelievers will endure. The depiction of the cosmic battle that takes place both in heaven and on earth, symbolic language, and introduction of surreal

The book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible and it meant to give us an idea of the end times and what to expect with the second coming of Jesus. Revelation was written by John, but John writes that he is just merely a recorder of the visions that Jesus sent him. Revelation is a book of Prophesy in the fact that it holds visions of what is to expect in the end times, but to also to be an encouragement that we will endure the hard times that are to come. It is thought to have been written around 95-96 AD, to seven churches in, what was then then, Roman areas of Asia, which is modern day turkey. These churches were plagued by issues of false teachings, persecution, idolatry, paganism, and immorality. Jesus sent this vision to John, to
