The graphic judgments of Revelation often scare people. How are we to understand it? In my recent interview with prophecy expert Dr. Ed Hindson, he shares: “That’s one of the tough things in the book of Revelation. People say, ‘Well, it scares me to read these things.’ Well, it’s not written to scare us, it is written to prepare us to be ready to meet Jesus at any time. Make sure you know that you’re ready to go, because you don’t want to be left behind. It’s only bad news for the unbelievers. It’s good news for the believer; it’s bad news for the unbeliever.” Revelation should not scare us; it should prepare us to stand firm for Christ.
