A 21-slide PowerPoint presentation for the Week 49 Seminary Lesson: Revelation 1
"Because of its use of symbolism, the book of Revelation can sometimes seem strange or confusing. It is true that the book of Revelation is full of symbolism that makes parts of it difficult to understand. However, many messages in the book of Revelation are simple truths about such things as the roles of Jesus Christ, events surrounding the Second Coming, and the ultimate victory of good over evil. The book was written by John the Apostle and is addressed to seven congregations of the Church in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). Like many today, these faithful followers of Jesus Christ suffered because of their belief in Jesus Christ and were comforted by the messages and imagery written by John. This lesson is intended to help you understand some of the symbolism in the book of Revelation and what it can teach you about Jesus Christ."
