The second coming of Jesus Christ draws closer with every tick of the clock. With every heartbeat, each person is closer to meeting the Lord face-to-face. The question at hand is, When will this occur? A more pressing question is, Are you, your family, and your church ready specifically? The purpose of the book of Revelation is to inform and prepare each person and church for the reality of the second coming. The purpose of this book is to inform, train, and prepare individuals and churches to engage the present culture with the gospel as we experience the radical effects of these long-prophesied end times. This book is written for those who know very little about the Bible or the Christian faith as well as for those who have followed Christ faithfully for decades. Jesus' constant challenge in Scripture was and is "Be ready."
