I do not know if you are ever intrigued to read Revelation. Some people avoid Revelation because they cannot handle the concept of God's judgment. The thought of such severity from a good, loving God can be troubling. It is difficult for us to reconcile the harmony within God's infinite, multifaceted nature, which operates in perfect unity---benevolent grace and just judgment. He never violates one attribute to exercise another. Revelation reveals the finality of God's just judgment on those who reject His Son alongside His immense saving grace toward His redeemed ones who embrace His Son. There is no reason to fear if you belong to the LORD.
There are difficulties when we try to understand Revelation since no one fully understands everything in Revelation. Believers who hold differing interpretations have important common ground. For example, they all look forward to the LORD Jesus' return, believers' resurrection and renewal. We should not assume that difference in interpretation makes Revelation too difficult to study. God gives us this book to assure us of hope, courage and stability. God intends to bless us if we read it.
"Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." Revelation1:3.
邀你来学启示录
不知道你是否有兴趣读启示录，有些人因为不愿意思考“神的审判”这个概念，就避免读启示录。单是想想美善慈爱的神要严厉地施行审判，就够让人心里不舒服的了。对我们来说，理解神在祂无限丰富的神性中，把恩典和审判完美和谐地统一起来，是有困难的，但是，神从来都不会顾此失彼。启示录告诉我们，神对拒绝祂儿子之人的最后审判，同时也告诉我们，祂对接受祂儿子，被救赎之人的莫大恩典。如果你是属神的人，就没理由心存恐惧。
当我们尝试理解启示录时，是会遇到困难的，因为没有一个人能完全理解启示录。信徒们会有不同的看法，但更有很多重要的共识。比如，大家都在盼望着主耶稣的再来，等待着被复活更新。请不要让理解上的不同阻碍我们学习启示录，神赐给我们这本书，为要使我们有勇气面对末世，心存盼望和平安。神定意要祝福读这本书的人。
“念这书上预言的和那些听见又遵守其中所记载的，都是有福的，因为日期近了。” 启1：3
