The Revelation for the Last Days
“The Revelation” is especially a message for the last days. It reveals great truths; it warns against great perils; it anticipates great reforms to take place just before Christ comes. The benedictions given at beginning and close indicate this also. At the very first we read: “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand.” Ch. 1:3. The blessing is not in reading or hearing, but in reading and hearing and doing. And at the close of this wonderful series of visions we read, “Behold, I come quickly; blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” Ch. 22:7. But he who keeps the sayings of this book must understand them, and must live in those days just preceding Christ’s coming.
