Given by God and written down by a man called John some two thousand years ago, Revelation is a symbolic narrative transcending the ages, with meaning beyond our wildest dreams. It is a book of hope for all who trust in the promises of the One seated upon the throne and the Lamb. It is a vision asking us to place our imaginations into overdrive so that we may begin to understand our past, present, and future. It is a story giving us options and showing us the outcome of our choices. It is a heavenly drama asking one simple question, Has Your Robe Been Washed?
