Revelation: Robertson's Notes

The book of Revelation illustrates the eternal consequences of following a life of sin rather than glorifying God. Satan is depicted as a ferocious red dragon of great power and persuasion. Christ is depicted in the Revelation as eternally glorious and victorious. Each generation of man faces the same things that the previous generation did. Man faces tribulation and powerful temptation in the form of lust, luxury, covetousness, pride, and personal glory. Man is inundated with false doctrines. The world of man is pushed and pulled by Satan’s vices while the promises of God ground a man on the foundation of truth. God permits man to make his own choice in the matter. The book of Revelation shows that the pleasures of sin are short lived with eternal horrid consequences whereas the glories of heaven are blessed now and forevermore.
