"Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next" - CS Lewis
As I read through Revelation for the first time in-depth with a group, I went through this book with them as well. Understanding the depths of what is to come helps me see the value of every present moment and what I should be doing. I look to the future now with expectant hope and with trepidation for all those who have not accepted Christ as Savior.
Many of the elements of Revelation I'd never even heard about, even though I grew up in the church, like the Millennium. How is this missed out in our Christian education?
As I read through the Scripture and book, I seek to lessen the trivial debates about specifics and instead see the themes of God and the hope that I can now have: God is in control and He is good!
"I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I’m finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, applause, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and labor by power. My pace is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven. My road is narrow. My way rough. My companions few. My guide is reliable and my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I’ve stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give ’til I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He’ll have no problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear."

Good book
I enjoyed this study of the end of times. It's always good to refresh the mind with the bible. It also helped me understand the end of times.

Great Read
I have learned so much of the end that I feel I can read Revelations with more confidence. We all need to be ready.

Prophecy Deciphered
This is one of the best books I've read on Biblical prophecy, deciphering it all, reminding us of what is important and urging us on to making the decision, one way or the other, where we will live throughout eternity.
