Why is Revelation ignored by much of the Church to whom it was written?

Important Takeaways:

  • Jesus Unveiled Bible Prophecy, So Why Are Only 2% of US Churches Teaching it?
  • In a recent Lifeway poll they found only 2% of churches in the USA teach Bible prophecy. This is an amazing latter-days stat for several reasons:
    • Roughly 30% of the Bible is prophetic. They’re ignoring almost 1/3 of the scriptures.
    • 100% accuracy in past prophecies fulfilled literally separates the Bible from every other book on the planet. It not only claims to be written by God, it proves it by predicting the future.
    • The entire Book of Revelation was prophetic when written. Today everything from Revelation 6 forward is still in the future and likely to be fulfilled within the next 7-14 years.
    • The Book of Revelation is the only book that promises Believers a special blessing for even trying to read and understand it.
  • Revelation 1:3 KJV – “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.”
  • In the Book of Daniel, it says to “seal up” the words until the end of the Times of the Gentiles. In the Book of Revelation, which dovetails with Daniel, John is told to “seal NOT the words for the time is at hand”… meaning the Church Age.
  • And God promises through Amos that He WOULD reveal to us what is going on.
  • Amos 3:7 KJV – “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”
  • And from Jeremiah:
  • Jeremiah 30:24 KJV – “The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.”
  • Yet only 2% of churches even attempt to try to understand the thrust of the Bible’s teaching in hundreds of Bible prophecy verses.
  • I know one thing, Satan sure doesn’t want Believers to study prophecy because it gives people hope.
