What Is the Apocalypse? - The Trumpet Daily

The world views the book of Revelation as if it were a horror movie. The Greek word for revelation is apocalypse. That word too, for most people, conjures up pictures of terrifying calamites. But the word apocalypse actually means an uncovering or disclosure—it means to enlighten or to give light!

The book of Revelation is unique in that it provides a time frame, or time sequence, for all prophecy. That is why this book is so crucial to understand. God wants us to see how all prophecy fits into the God Family vision. That vision is clearly laid out in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 1:3 reads, “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.”

God says if you understand and heed the greatest prophetic book in the Bible—the book of Revelation—you will be blessed like no other person on Earth! However, most people scoff at these prophecies, and in doing so, they have closed their eyes and ears to the truth.

To understand Bible prophecy—which makes up approximately one third of the entire Bible—we must read and hear what God reveals in the book of Revelation. On this episode of the Trumpet Daily, we dig into the first few verses of the book of Revelation—a book God intended to give light to this dark world!
