Daily Bible Reading - December 6th, 2020 | American Bible Society: Revelation 1:1-20: The book of Revelation, also known as the Revelation to John, was written at a time when Christians were being persecuted because of their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. The writer’s main concern was to give his readers hope and encouragement and to urge them to remain faithful during times of suffering and persecution. The book of Revelation belongs to a kind of writing called apocalyptic literature. Apocalyptic writings seek to reveal the secrets of heaven along with describing how human history will end. In today’s reading, the writer tells how he received a message from an angel sent by Christ, and he describes his vision of the risen Christ.
