What I do have a problem with is that it appears Revelation is left standing alone or outside, partially, from all the other books. I hope I explained that correctly. It just has never made sense to me. I think everything should blend and tie in from Genesis to Revelation. Some of the teaching I have had, or it could have been the way I perceived it - leaves it hanging alone. I don't know how else to explain that. LOL!

The Book of Revelation is John's detailed account of Jesus' Mount Olivet Discourse. I first saw this when it dawned on me that Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 each include Jesus’ words from that Mount, but nowhere do we find a peep mentioned about it in the gospel of John. Over and over I heard apostolic preachers say that Matthew 24 is the most significant prophecy chapter in our Bible. If that is the case (and I am not saying specifically that it is), then why didn't John—the disciple that Jesus greatly loved—include it as well? When I studied this through I realized that by comparing what Jesus taught in the Mount Olivet Discourse with what John included in the Book of Revelation, it is easy to see that John didn't just devote one chapter to Jesus’ sermon, but instead wrote an entire book detailing what Jesus had said would soon come to pass.

Because these prophecies are now past, Revelation is a detailed book of the history of what was and did come to pass during Jesus' generation. Revelation today is relevant because of the power of its testimony concerning its detailed and accurate fulfillment. To understand Jesus perfectly foretold—in detail—what would come to pass during His generation is a powerful witness that He is truly the Lord and Savior of all Mankind. Therefore the book of Revelation is very relevant for the Church today.
