Pastor Lloyd Ashworth

I’m sure many of you will have seen the attempts people have made to depict the book of Revelation….many of them look like something out of the latest video games! But what is the essential message of Revelation? Attempts to understand this book range from ‘fearful to fanatical’- and almost everything in between. The protestant reformers had a very low view of Revelation – Luther said ‘I cannot understand it’…Calvin omitted it from his New Testament. But the Devil hates this book as he does the first few chapters of Genesis – they tell how he led mankind astray from God and this book tells us how he ends up. But the essential message of Revelation is surprisingly not about war, fighting, and killing – it’s repent and turn towards God and bow your knee to the Lamb King.
