The Bible exists chiefly to communicate the character and nature of God and his plan of redemption for a fallen world. The book of Revelation is no different. In fact, the title of the book points directly to the book's purpose – “The Revelation (to John) of Jesus Christ”. Revelation, as a word and a title, means to “disclose” or “unveil”. God chose to reveal himself to John through various images and symbols that make sense of the past, apply to the present, and give hope for the future. The main point of Revelation is God’s sovereign acts of redemption and judgment purposed to display his glory and motivate his people toward worship, obedience, joy, and faithfulness. Or, to state it simply: Jesus wins.
