Revelation 1:1-3

You may wonder, Why the book of Revelation?I admit, it is the most confusing and frustrating book in the Bible- it’s not an easy read – some images are very strange• they seem fairytale or mythical, except but even weirder ◦ for instance, we find, not just a beast with ten horns,◦ but it has seven heads (?) and ten crowns on its horns• there’s not another book in Bible exactly like this- but it is also one of the most fascinating books in the Bible• Revelation can work in us in ways like no other book• if it disturbs us, it also calms us; if it frightens also reassures; if it is structured, it is also free;and if its meaning is hidden, its overall effect is Revelation
