The Book of Revelation is the book of revealing which includes what is to come to past nearing the end of time and at the end of time. It is the book of the Bible that is especially applicable / critical for this - final - generation. Only a very few prophecies concerning the end of time / the second coming of Jesus have not yet been fulfilled. Jesus is coming soon! Hence the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13) must be sooner. if you and me are ready for the one we will be ready for the other. The one is the "Final Exam" that will determine our destiny - hell? or Heaven? Get Ready! Get Ready!!
