What is Revelation?
1.
The final book of the Holy Bible. Revelation talks about "what must soon take place". The Book of Revelations, as its full-name is called, talks about the end of the world, Armageddon, the end of history, and how humankind will be able to live in eternal grace of Heaven in the afterlife, and how Satan will one day be thrown into a river of utter torment for eternity.
Because of modern-day circumstances, and popular portrayal, Revelation is what you make of it. The end of the world differs from all minds, and there are different perceptions as a result.
"Revelation is my personal favorite book of the Bible."
