Revelation is notoriously considered the most difficult of all the Bible books…completely unique, full of symbols, and awesome in scope. Regrettably, Revelation has occasionally become the playground of religious eccentrics, fodder for prophecy “fanatics” who seem compelled to find in Revelation a detailed end-times timetable—right down to the very day of the Lord’s return.

Pastor Chuck Swindoll explores selections from Revelation that provide a closer look at the significance of Jesus’ work in the past, present, and future. Look back to the debt Jesus paid, consider your current walk with Him, and look forward to when He’ll return to judge evil and reign with His people.

The stage has been set for the first of many visions. John listens as Jesus speaks.

Pastor Chuck Swindoll teaches from Revelation, illuminating how Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith. Even more, Jesus is the origin of creation and the end toward which and for which everything culminates!

“You can’t judge a book by its cover”—that’s a phrase we’ve all heard before. What’s true of people is also true of churches—you can’t tell the effectiveness of a church by its building. To discover the traits of an effective church, we have to examine what’s on the inside. Fortunately, Jesus Himself shows us what to look for.

The church at Thyatira was loving and active, but tolerated a Jezebel in their midst.

Tragically, the church at Pergamum, in the midst of satanic opposition, dulled the edge of its effectiveness through doctrinal and moral compromise.

Suffering and hardship, as experienced by the church at Smyrna, are hard to bear but purify God's people.

John records Christ's evaluation of the seven churches listed in Revelation 1:11.
