How much do you know about the book of Revelation in the Bible?

235 Views 11 Votes 13 Comments

The book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible. It is the only book in the New Testament that is prophetic in nature and is a form of what is called apocalyptic literature. This means that it uses a  wide variety of symbols to portray its message. It’s strangeness draws some people to it and drives others away, fearing they will not be able to understand it.

Below are ten questions on the book. Because there are so many interpretations of the text, I have tried to avoid questions like “What does this mean?” and stick to the actual text. Good luck.
