At it’s most basic, the book of Revelation is a letter from Jesus Christ to the churches of Asia Minor. In this ancient and mysterious letter, Jesus speaks to seven different churches throughout Asia Minor about their spiritual living and he calls them into greater faithfulness. While this letter was specifically written to the seven churches in Asia Minor, it has been preserved for over 1900 years and it continues to speak to the heart of each generation. There are times when the circumstances these seven churches faced seem so foreign and distant that if you didn’t know better, you might not even recognize them as they were two-thousand years ago. However, there are other aspects in this book of Revelation which never change no matter how long ago they were written. These aspects show us more about Jesus and his heart for people today. One such aspect is found in chapter one and explains in detail the purpose behind this entire letter — the church.
I have been looking for a way to start out this post ever since I decided to write it. This is because I wanted something that was able to capture the essence of how grateful I am for this book in a single sentence. I failed miserably. After about three hours, I threw my hands in the air and declared: “I give up!”

Prayer points from the book of revelation
The following prayer points are provided to help you pray for your life and your family. These are based on the book of Revelation which is God’s last word to us about what is coming in the future. It describes a series of events that will happen as we get closer to the return of Jesus Christ.
The church will have survived persecution and tribulation during this time. They will have been removed from earth and taken to heaven for protection. God will have left his people behind for one reason; so that they can be witnesses to those who will not accept Christ as their saviour.
During this time there will be many deceivers who will come in the name of Jesus, but they are false prophets (Matthew 24 v 11-13). There will also be many great signs and wonders performed by Satan’s forces in order to deceive mankind (Revelation 16 v 14).
Satan’s purpose is to deceive as many souls as he can into following him instead of God (Revelation 12 v 9). If you choose to follow him it means eternal separation from God, which is called Hell
Revelation is a book of prophecy. It is about Jesus Christ and the future of the world. It was written by John, who was one of Jesus’ twelve disciples. John was exiled on the island of Patmos for preaching about Jesus Christ and God’s kingdom (1:9).
Revelation is divided into two parts:
The first part (chapters 1-3) contains messages to seven churches in Asia Minor, where John lived and preached during his exile. These messages prophesy about God’s plan for these churches, encouraging them to persevere through persecution and warning them against the dangers of false teaching (1:18).
The second part (chapters 4-22) consists of seven visions seen by John during his exile on Patmos. These visions reveal God’s plan for the end times, including a description of heaven, Satan’s rebellion against God, a coming war between good and evil, and the last judgment at which all people will be judged according to how they lived their lives on earth

Jesus: The Lion and the Lamb (5:5)
Revelation 5:5 He who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. They will hunger no more nor thirst anymore; the sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Jesus: The Lion and the Lamb (5:6)
Revelation 5:6 Then I saw that the lamb was standing on Mount Zion, with 144,000 people who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
Jesus: The Lion and the Lamb (7:9)
Revelation 7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on

The Book of Revelation serves as the capstone of the biblical canon. This profound epic, where time and human history culminate, features three prayers that highlight the power and magnitude of prayer in the overarching plan of God. We will discuss the major points, functions, and present-day applications of each of the featured prayers.
Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse (literally, an “unveiling”), was likely written during the A.D. 90s and sent to seven churches in Asia Minor, or what is now western Turkey. Revelation has been viewed in various ways since the time John penned it. These approaches range from understanding the book as a document only relevant to its first-century context, to a literalistic blueprint of human history, to a tapestry of principles irrespective of time con ditioning.1 Rich in symbolism, the awe-inspiring vision that John
received on Patmos and subsequently recorded for posterity has often baffled would-be interpreters. Even its genre, or literary type, as Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart point out,2 cannot be limited to one kind, for the book contains elements of apocalyptic (a document that features an “unveiling”), epistolary (relating to an epistle or letter), and prophetic literature. We will focus on the prayers in Revelation especially as they refer to the eschatological, or end-time, function of the book.

Prayer for Divine Revelation
Father, I pray that you would reveal to me your will in my life. I pray that you would open my mind and spirit to hear what you have to say. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
The Lord has revealed some things to me in prayer but there are many more things that he wants me to know. For example, I’ve been praying about where I want to live next year and he has answered my prayers by revealing that it will be in a certain place, with certain people and doing certain things. But now he wants me to hear more details about this plan of his so I can be obedient and follow through with what he wants me to do. He’s waiting on me right now!
The Bible is a divine revelation from God. It was written by men, but was superintended by the Spirit of God. It is not the product of human wisdom or imagination, but of divine inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).
The Bible reveals many things about its own origin and authority:
- It claims to be God’s Word (2 Peter 1:19-21).
- The Bible claims to be inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16).
- The Bible tells us how it came into existence (2 Peter 1:20-21).
- The Bible itself is its own best evidence for its divine origin and authority (John 10:35; 17:17).
- The Bible claims that all Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).
Spiritual warfare. As we are in the midst of spiritual warfare, I have a word from God for you that will help you to be victorious in the battle against the enemy.
I want you to know that I am on your side and I will fight for you. I want to give you these prayer points for divine revelation so that you can see beyond what you see today and know that I am working on your behalf.
1-The devil is trying to limit your vision by getting you to focus on what is right in front of your face instead of seeing the bigger picture. He wants to keep you from seeing my plan and purpose for your life. He knows that if he can get your eyes off me, he will have an easier time keeping them off him as well.
2-This is why he uses distractions like worry, doubt and fear because they cause us to lose sight of who we are in Christ Jesus and our purpose here on earth. Satan wants us to believe that there is no hope or purpose for our lives besides what we already know about ourselves…this is why it’s so important for us to stay focused on Jesus Christ and what he has done for us
The first mention of prayer occurs in 5:8, when the righteous Lamb appears and takes the scroll which before that time no one in heaven or earth was able to unseal and open. These prayers are primarily worship or adoration prayers. This may be seen by the songs of praise to the Lamb that follow (9-10, 12, 13), after which the “elders fell down and worshiped him that liveth forever and ever” (14). The prayers are also covenantal prayers, demonstrated in the songs which follow by the reminders of what God did through Christ at Calvary (9, 12).
The prayers feature the following major points. At a time of heightened suspense when the Lamb of God is found worthy to open the scroll, “the four beasts and the four and twenty elders” prostrate themselves before the Lamb (8). They have all been equipped with a musical instrument (a harp) and golden bowls containing incense (8). Verse 8 identifies the incense as “the prayers of saints.” This heavenly “choir” then breaks out in glorious praise, singing a song to the Lamb (9-10), extolling His worthiness. The Lamb had been slain, they declare, and with His blood had purchased for God people from every racial, ethnic, and national background (9). These people had been transformed into priests who would serve God in His new kingdom on earth (10). The creatures and elders are then joined by a company of angels, who likewise extol in song the virtues of the Lamb (11-12). Finally, all the inhabitants of God’s creation join together in a
marvelous song of praise to the Lamb and “to him that sitteth upon the throne” (13).
The prayers themselves, symbolically captured by the metaphor of incense, are powerful, mysterious, and majestic. They are confident prayers, because in the Lamb’s “triumph they have been made confident of God’s mercy.”3 As a word picture, the depiction of prayer as incense typifies them as fragrant. Incense burns continually, providing a sweet-smelling aroma, as opposed to gunpowder, which explodes with a
caustic odor and destructive force.
The prayers in 5:8 show to the persecuted readers of the Book of Revelation that their prayers to God are not soon forgotten but ascend to God continually and mingle with the praises of God’s heavenly host as they worship the Lamb. The prayers remind us of the Old Testament altar of incense, where priests offered incense continually to God (Exodus 30:1-10; 40:5, 27). All of God’s wonderful promises are now being fulfilled at the conclusion of time, when God will restore His creation in “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1) and where only “they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life” (27) may dwell. They will serve as God’s priests (5:10), offering up incense and sacrifices of praise (Hebrews 13:15) in God’s direct shekinah presence, where a temple is no longer needed (Revelation 21:22).
The prayers of 5:8 demonstrate several qualities of those who pray them. They represent the perseverance, faithfulness, humility, and piety of the saints. Through these prayers, we sense the suffering they endured and their great reverence- for God, who delivered them.
We may apply these prayers to our ministries by realizing that God not only hears but enjoys the savor of our prayers. Although at times it seems as if our prayers simply fall to the ground, God honors them and has a purpose for them in His endtime plan. Our prayers, along with those from all of God’s saints, past and present, will be presented to God as He sits on His throne at the consummation of time. Prayer is as powerful in our day as it was in John’s, and all prayer throughout history will make its impact on the end of time.
The second instance of prayer in Revelation occurs in 6:10. This moving prayer is a prayer of petition. It is a request for vengeance upon God’s enemies for past persecution. It thus constitutes an imprecatory prayer or plea for judgment. In addition, the prayer is a covenantal prayer in that it reminds God of who He is.
This prayer features the following salient points. After the opening of each of the first four (of seven) seals, God’s judgment, marked by conquest and war (2-4), famine (5-6), and death (7-8), is poured out on the earth. During the breaking of the fifth seal, John beholds beneath the altar martyrs who had been executed for God’s Word and their own testimony (9). These martyrs plead with God in “a loud voice” for Him to avenge their deaths quickly, imploring, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, cost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” (10). They, therefore, inquire of God when judgment will occur and truth triumph, and remind God of His providence, omnipotence, holiness, and integrity. In response, the martyrs receive white robes, symbolizing holiness, and are admonished to wait patiently until the predetermined number of righteous slain is fulfilled (11).
This prayer is a simple, poignant prayer of inquiry. The prayer is touching, as the reader envisions the slain dead under the altar crying out to God for righteous retribution. With respect and humility, the martyrs ask God a stirring question: When will You take vengeance upon those who have slain Your people?
The prayer demonstrates that God’s people must wait patiently for Him to act in judgment. God sees all the persecution that His saints endure and, in due time, will mightily avenge His elect and visit His enemies with retribution. The end has not occurred yet, but when it does, those who have killed God’s people will experience the full cup of God’s wrath, a vessel overflowing with fury and indignation (14:10; 16:19). The prayer emphasizes that a reversal of positions will take place in the end time. Although downcast now, God’s people will eventually reign in peace and victory (21:3-4), and His enemies will be judged and sentenced to eternal torment in a lake of fire (20:10-15).
The prayer in 6:10 identifies the truthfulness and zeal of the slain martyrs. They passionately desire for God to act on their behalf. They wait under the altar for God to avenge their enemies quickly and carry out His righteous sentence (6:9-10). They have been made pure in the blood of the Lamb and wear white robes signifying their holiness before God (11). This holiness is not their own, but has been purchased by the triumphant Lamb of God (5:4 ff.).
This prayer has direct relevance to our ministries today. Like the martyrs, we must not despair of God’s judgment nor attempt to take vengeance into our own hands. God alone is the righteous a” perfect judge. Although we may suffer persecution, we must continually seek God’s assistance on our behalf we may pay the ultimate price for our faith, God remains faithful. God sees all that we endure and will set things right in the end.
The third prayer of the Apocalypse occurs in 8:3-4. Here we find another example of a petitionary and imprecatory prayer. From the context, it appears that the prayers here refer to the saints’ pleading for God to act in righteous vengeance on His enemies.
The prayers feature the following key points. The prayers are offered after a half-hour of silence in heaven when the final scroll seal is opened (8:1). Seven angels are presented with trumpets (2), which, like the loosened scroll seals (6:1-8:1), will unleash another cycle of God’s wrath (8:6-11:15). Meanwhile, another angel, equipped with a golden censer, stands before the altar (3). This angel is presented with a large quantity of incense to offer on the golden altar before the throne. The incense is mingled with “the prayers of all saints” (3-4), coinciding with the metaphor of prayer as incense that we saw previously (5:8). The contents of the censor are ignited with fire from the altar and then tossed to the earth. Terrible signs,
reminiscent of the Sinai epiphany, transpire, including “voices, and thunderings, and lightenings, and an earthquake” (5).
These prayers, which are not vocalized, apparently signify petitions for vengeance, as in the prayer of 6:10. These prayers are thus moving, pithy and intense. They stem from a deep longing for God to avenge the harm done to God’s people. These prayers are powerful, passionate, desperate, and full of faith that God will answer.
The prayers of 8:3-4 demonstrates the faithfulness of God. Throughout the ages, God has stored the prayers of His people. In God’s providence, at the conclusion of human history, the “flammable” prayers
of the saints are taken out of storage and mixed with God’s fiery wrath. Prayer is thus utilized in the plan of God to enact vengeance on the ungodly. In the hand of the angel, the saints’ prayers become potent, combustible material that explodes into the fury of Judgment Day.
From the prayers in 8:3-4 we may characterize the saints as faithful. Despite difficulties and hardships, they have continued to send their prayers upward to God. These prayers signify the passion and fervent desire of the saints to see God’s righteousness and truth carried out speedily against His enemies. The saints remain strong in the midst of persecution and suffering. Although they have experienced affliction and faced slander, they remain faithful (2:10) and endure their trials patiently (3:10). Despite being plagued by incessant temptations to apostatize and be immoral (2:14-15; 2025), those who send up prayers remain trustworthy and unwavering in their faith.
The prayers of 8:3-4 are certainly relevant to our ministries today. While Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies and not to retaliate, we must not refrain from sending petitions to God requesting deliverance from and righteous judgment upon our enemies during persecutions. Since “vindication is very close to revenge . . . only God should undertake revenge.”4 Just as He responded to the imprecatory prayers in the Old Testament, God willingly lends His ears to the distressed cries of His New Testament church. God hears “the prayers of all saints” (8:3; emphasis mine) and will refuse no prayers offered up from His children.
What Are The Main Points In The Book Of Revelation
The book of Revelation is the last book in the New Testament. It was written by John, a Christian leader and prophet who lived on the island of Patmos during the first century AD.
John had been exiled to Patmos by Roman authorities for preaching about Jesus Christ. While there, he received a vision from God that revealed the future of humanity and the church. He wrote about his vision in the form of an apocalyptic (or apocalyptic-like) narrative. The book of Revelation describes many events in history that are yet to happen but also includes descriptions of present-day events as they relate to God’s plan for his people.
The main points of Revelation include:
A new heaven and new earth will be created where all people can live together with God forever in peace
Satan will be defeated once and for all by Jesus Christ at his second coming
The wicked will be judged and punished while those who follow Jesus will be rewarded by being granted eternal life
Revelation is the last book of the New Testament. It describes the end times, or what the Bible calls “the last days” (2 Timothy 3:1).
The book of Revelation was written by John on the island of Patmos. It was probably written around A.D. 95, although some scholars date it to A.D. 70 or earlier (NIV Study Bible, p. 1715).
The main points of Revelation include:
Many people will suffer because they do not obey God (chapters 2–3).
God will punish those who do evil and reward those who do good (chapters 4–19).
Christians will be persecuted but never defeated by Satan or his followers (chapters 6–19).
Revelation is the final book in the New Testament, and it’s full of mysteries. But there are some basic points that you can understand about this apocalyptic prophecy.
First, Revelation is a book of seven letters to seven churches in Asia Minor (modern Turkey). These letters were written by John, who was exiled on Patmos Island around AD 95. The seven churches represent all churches, so these letters are really letters to Christians everywhere.
Second, Revelation is divided into three parts:
The first six chapters contain John’s visions of heaven and earth after Christ’s return to earth. In these chapters, John sees God’s throne room where God sits surrounded by angels and elders who are praising him (1:12), he sees Jesus as the Lamb of God (5:6), he sees worshippers standing before God’s throne (7:9-17), he sees the heavenly city with its gates guarded by angels who will not let anyone in unless they have been marked with a seal on their foreheads (21:10-22), and he hears angels speaking about events that will happen soon on earth (14).
The last three chapters focus on how people must wait for God’s judgment because Jesus hasn’t come yet; however, when He does come back
The book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible, and it contains a series of visions given to John by Jesus Christ.
The book of Revelation has been interpreted in many different ways. Some people have believed that it is a literal description of events that will happen in the future, while others have taken it as an allegory or symbolic representation of events in past history. The truth is somewhere in between these two extremes. The book does contain some literal descriptions of future events, but it also contains many symbols and allegories that must be interpreted by the reader.
Revelation describes several scenes from heaven and earth over several centuries. The first scene shows Jesus returning to earth as king and judging his enemies at his second coming when he returns to earth with his army (Revelation 19:11-21). This judgment includes both Satan and all those who followed him instead of following God (Revelation 20:10). It also includes those who lived during the tribulation period who did not repent but continued to follow Satan’s influence over them while they were on earth (Revelation 20:15).
The next scene describes how God will destroy all evil people who refuse to repent before Jesus comes back again (Revelation 20:14-15).
Revelation is an apocalyptic prophetic book of the New Testament, thought to be composed of three visions that were given to John on the Greek island of Patmos. The name Revelation comes from the first word of the text, apokalupsis, meaning unveiling or disclosure. It is not known when John wrote Revelation, except that it was while exiled to the island of Patmos, meaning sometime during the reign of Roman Emperor Domitian (81–96). The text describes a series of seven prophetic visions outlining what John saw, heard and experienced during his exile on Patmos.
The seven letters to churches in Asia are addressed to Ephesus (2:1–7), Smyrna (2:8–11), Pergamum (2:12–17), Thyatira (2:18–29), Sardis (3:1–6), Philadelphia (3:7–13) and Laodicea (3:14–22). These letters include prophecies against these cities and call their inhabitants to repentance before God punishes them for their sins. This is followed by a vision depicting Jesus Christ sitting on a white horse in heaven with a sharp sword coming out of his mouth and leading the armies of heaven into battle against Satan and his
