Book excerpt: The Book of Revelation was meant to ignite awe and worship. There is a special blessing promised to all who read and obey the words of Revelation (1:3). Yet many Christians slam their Bible shut before reading because they find the end times prophecy to be confusing, weird, and even scary. Revelation was never meant to be feared or skipped over. In Unmasking Revelation, Sam Chess walks through how Jesus left first century Christians with the hope of His return, and how the letter of Revelation was given as a guide to how it all would end. Jesus was going to victoriously win and satan, and death, and hell, and even the curse of sin itself (22:3) would be purged off this planet! Through Unmasking Revelation, the difficult parts of Revelation become understandable, and the weird and frightening are “unmasked” to simply unfold the storyline of Jesus’ (and Christians’) final triumphant victory.
