Talks on the Apocalypse Part 1 - Chapter 1:1-3. "The Preface to the Book" The full title of the last book of the Bible is given in its first verse: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass," Revelation 1:1, KJV. Being the last book of the canon of Holy Scripture, it is of special significance. It is the closing word of Christ to His church. How we should carefully and prayerfully consider what its says. Yet, sadly, it is likely the least read part of the Word of God.
