The Book of Revelations: Not to be feared

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. (Revelation 1:3 NIV)

Out of all the books in the bible, the book of Revelations is the one that many people are afraid to read. All their attention is placed on the beast and the time of tribulation and they become fearful. But from the above scripture we should understand that this book is a blessing. It tells us of God's plan for that time. It shouldn't invoke fear in us but a sense preparation, that we are ready for Christ's second arrival.

As children of God remember that we have nothing to do with the beast. Whatever turmoil may be placed on the earth at that time is not our portion, for we will be in the presence of the Lord.
