The Book Of Revelation

The Book of Revelation is a canonical book of the new testament in the Bible belonging to the Christian faith.

What sets the Book of Revelation apart from any other Christain literature is the fact that this is the only biblical book that talks of nothing other than apocalyptic scripture.

The Book of Revelation is also known as the Revelation to John, Apocalypse of John, Revelation of Jesus Christ and The Apocalypse of the theologian.

The Birth of The Book 

Old views of the Book of Revelation believe it to have been written by John the Apostle, also known as John of Patmos after his exile to the island of Patmos.

It is believed that the literature was written between 68 and 185 AD, this is much debated to this day as some prefer an earlier date while others a later one.

After early Church fathers reviewed the scripture that is the Book of Revelation it was quickly accepted as an apostolic literature.

By the end of the 3rd century the Book of Revelation had been sanctioned as a true apostolic work by Christian figures across the advanced races of present day Europe and in Africa.

The Apocolyptic Way We Will End 

The Book of Revelation tells of conquered lands, famine, disease and the changes in the weather. This shows that the apocalypse is not just a one strike event, it will be a long and suffering end that will impact on everyone in so many ways.

The way the book depicts each of these events is through the form of riders coming forth on horses of different colours.

Each horse and rider will give another apocalyptic turn of events that will shatter the Earth as we know it.

The Red and the White Horse 

Chapter 6 Verse 2

"And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer."

Chapter 6 Verse 4

"Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword. "

As we know the lure of conquering lands is not new and has been happening since the time of man. The difference is that over time the way in which man conquers new lands has become more inventive and deadly.

How will the world end? 

Does the Book of Revelation give a true account of our worlds end?

The Black Horse 

Chapter 6 Verse 5/6

"When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, "Come and see!" And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't damage the oil and the wine!"

This verse can easily be seen as the famine that engulfs the third world countries and the greed of richer nations in this world that drink alcohol and consume mother natures natural resources at an alarming rate.
According to the Mayan calendar the end of our world will occur on the 12th December 2012....will the Book of Revelation scriptures come true on this date? Will we be judged?

The Near Final Assault 

Chapter 16 verses 18 to 21

"There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men on the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty. Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent, came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague is exceedingly severe."

Mother Earth unleashes her displeasure upon us...need more be said?

The Pale Horse 

Chapter 6 Verse

"And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him."

And finally Death does appear and finish the lands of the Human race. It talks of 1/4 of the Earth, this is the land. Death does not have quarrel with the animals of the sea only use who abuse the lands above.
