Blessed Assurance; The Lord Reigns!Why Read This Book ? Sometimes it seems like everything is in a state of chaos and we have no answers. Speculation and imagination about the future state of things is becoming more and more rampant. The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ (it's real title), is becoming more and more relevant. All people, believers and unbelievers, must experience suffering in this chaotic world. Without understanding and faith in the promises of God's love, and acceptance of His presence in our lives, coping is impossible. Suffering will continue in this life until He returns. He promises to be with His own throughout it all until His presence with us for eternity. As you examine the message of the book of the Revelation, hopefully, you will trust Him and embrace His promises with confidence. As you receive this last Revelation of the Savior and see His promises, you will begin to experience wonderful blessings beginning with the 3rd verse of its 1st chapter. About the Author Robert C.
