Revelation 1:  Why is John writing this book?

Journal Prompt: As we begin the book of the Revelation, write about your thoughts of the end times.

Answers:

Jeremiah 9: People are being condemned for hypocrisy, for deceitfulness, for oppressing others.  Men are to boast only that he knows and understands the Lord.

Jeremiah 10: The people were seeking prophetic signs of the times in the sky. The gods who have not made the heavens or the earth shall perish. All false gods of the people would perish.

Revelation 1: John is writing this book, because he is following instructions which he received from Jesus.  Jesus told him he was to write down what he saw in a vision and to “send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.” (v. 11)
