This war will climax in the battle of Armageddon and then Jesus will return and establish His kingdom on earth where He will reign with His people for 1000 years.-Q: Which of these five views have you heard the most about? Now circle the letter preceding the one which you think might be the one we will find most in harmony with our study of Revelation. Those holding this view say that Revelation teaches that there will be a 'rapture' when all living Christians and all dead Christians will be taken to heaven and this event will be followed by seven years of tribulation when the Jewish temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem and then will come a terrible war over Israel. Visual: Events Around the End of the World.That pattern will be seen over and over in all places and all times. Some hold that Revelation is not about specific historical and religious events at all, but is a revealing of a certain 'repeating pattern' which events will follow: Christ is preached and this is always followed by political and religious persecution. Thus, in Revelation we read about the Roman Empire, the Turks, Mohammad, the Catholic Church, war between France and England, John Calvin, Martin Luther and many other world events. Those who hold this view suggest that Revelation is a prediction of the major events in the history of the world between Christ's first coming and His second coming. Visual: Prediction of Religious and Political History.The greatest persecution the church has endured came at the hands of the Roman Empire and Revelation is an encouragement to early Christians to stand fast during Roman persecution and a promise the God will bring the persecutor to defeat. Others believe the Fall of Rome is the event predicted by the disasters described in Revelation. The Jews had rejected Jesus and persecuted the early church and, so these say, God here reveals that He is going to bring about the fall of Jerusalem. Some believe that the various disasters revealed in Revelation predict the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

Q: Who is promised a blessing from Christ? (The one who reads this letter (aloud) to others, those who hear him read it, and those who 'take it to heart' or, as other translations say, who 'obey' it?
