The Issue of Genre and Apocalyptic Prophecy

Abstract

The study of the book of Revelation presents both challenges and rewards for
the end-time people of God. In this enigmatic concluding book of the Bible, God
provides both a chart and a compass to His homebound pilgrims as they traverse
the final treacherous stretch of their pilgrimage. Amidst many uncertainties,
Revelation presents the final generation with one great triumphant certainty—God
is in ultimate control of history and will deliver the kingdom to the saints of the
Most High.
