Okay, so you know how most books are written by, like, normal people? Yeah, well, the Bible isn’t just any book—it’s the only book personally launched and finished by God Himself. Like, He literally came down on Mount Sinai and dictated the first five books to Moses (talk about direct communication). And then, to wrap things up in a totally iconic way, Jesus Himself appeared to John on the island of Patmos to deliver the final book: Revelation.
So yeah, the Bible is bookended by divine visits, which is basically the most exclusive author signing in history. No other book can even try to compete.
Revelation: The Grand Finale That Ties It All Together
Revelation isn’t just some random prophecy dump—it’s the final act of God’s ultimate plan. And if you don’t read it, you’re basically skipping the last episode of the greatest show ever written.
📖 Revelation has 404 verses and over 800 references to the rest of the Bible. Translation? You can’t fully get Revelation without understanding the whole Bible. It’s like a season finale packed with Easter eggs from every previous season.
Revelation and the Old Testament: The Ultimate Crossover
You think Marvel does interconnected storytelling well? Please. The Bible invented it. A bunch of Revelation moments were already hinted at in the Old Testament.
- Psalm 2 – Jesus ruling with a rod of iron (Revelation 19:15). Never mentioned in the Gospels, but front and center in Revelation.
- Psalm 83 – A coalition of nations attacking Israel, a little preview of what we see unfold in Revelation.
- Psalm 102 – Basically predicts the Holocaust, showing Israel’s suffering before its comeback.
- Ezekiel 36-39 – A Russia-led invasion of Israel, which sounds like something straight from today’s headlines.
- Daniel 9-12 – The revival of the Roman Empire, a major end-times player.
- Isaiah 13-14, 24 – The rise and fall of Babylon, the origin of Satan, and what scholars call “the little apocalypse.”
- Zechariah 12-14 – The destruction of Jerusalem by the Antichrist, setting up Christ’s return.
Revelation and the New Testament: The Sequel That Brings It All Together
Oh, you thought Revelation was just fulfilling Old Testament prophecies? Nope, it’s also tying up all the loose ends from the New Testament.
- 1 Corinthians 3 & 15 – The rapture of the church (Revelation 4:1).
- 2 Corinthians 5 – The judgment seat of Christ, where believers get their rewards (Revelation 20:4).
- Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, Luke 21 – Jesus warned about plagues, disasters, and His return, all of which go down in Revelation.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 – The church’s rescue before the tribulation (Revelation 3:10).
- 2 Thessalonians 2:8 – The second coming of Christ, aka the ultimate comeback (Revelation 19:11-16).
- 2 Peter 3 – The end of the world, complete with a new Earth (Revelation 21:1).
The Oldest Prophecy Fulfilled in Revelation
And just when you thought the Bible couldn’t be any more legendary, the book of Jude drops this bomb:
📖 Jude 1:14 – “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousand of his saints.”
This prophecy? Spoken before Noah’s flood. Fulfilled? Revelation 19, where Jesus literally returns with His squad. Mic drop.
If You Didn’t Get the Hint, Here It Is…
Look, Revelation isn’t just a collection of visions—it’s a perfectly structured, chronological, and visually stunning conclusion to God’s story. Imagine skipping the last Avengers movie and then pretending you get the whole plot. Exactly.
Jesus isn’t just the author and finisher of our faith Hebrews 12:2—He’s the author and finisher of the Bible. So, are you paying attention to the ending, or are you going to be that person asking dumb questions when it all goes down?
Anyway, time for this Byrd to fly. Bye Bye Now.
