If this book is as complicated as
scholars make it seem, then why should we even study it? To some, this is a
strange question to ask but, to others, this is all too common. It is a
question posed by sincere Bible-believing Christians who have read the book and
have heard the bickering and, in all seriousness, are at a loss for what to do
with it.
However, if this is you then I
would like to encourage you to remember these key points:
1.
It is truth.
No matter how difficult it may be to understand, it is God’s Word and we should
enjoy getting to know Him in how He has chosen to reveal Himself.
2. It is
understandable. Though some will disagree with me, I fully believe that
this book can be clearly understood. Do I believe that we can know every single
detail? Of course not, but since this is God’s Word [the words of the Greatest
Communicator] I wholeheartedly believe that God has clearly communicated the
time and events of our Lord’s revealing.
3.
It is
blessed. This is the only book in the entire Bible that offers a blessing
to the one who reads it (cf. 1:3). Therefore, why would we avoid gaining an
easy blessing?
Yes, this book is difficult to
grasp, but isn’t God’s Word worth the time and effort spent in seeking to gain
a better understanding? After all, this book clearly outlines our eternity.
Don’t you want to know God’s agenda?
