	"What are the first five words of the Book of Revelation?" That's the question I ask people wherever I go to minister, and 95% of the time I get either a wrong answer or an "I don't know." What makes the question important (and the answers so shocking) is, that opening phrase is the very theme of Revelation! So what are those words and what is that theme? "The revelation of Jesus Christ." I say, it's time to get back to that theme! Something is wrong when a book of the Bible produces fear -- in Christians! Did you know that most people stay away from reading the book of Revelation? Why? because of fear. As I've traveled and preached The First Five Words, church members and pastors alike have confessed to me that they do not read Revelation regularly -- and many have not read it in years. Wow! The main reason most people study the Bible's last book is to figure out who the bad guys are (the Antichrist, the Beast, the False Prophet, etc.) and when they will be coming. Well, that is wrong. Yes, there are bad guys and bad things in Revelation, but they are not who and what the book is ultimately about. If God says this is "the revelation of Jesus Christ," then shouldn't we be going to Revelation to study Jesus Christ? By ignoring those first five words, we, as the Church, have developed a spirit of pessimism which has seriously affected our outlook on the future. We constantly gravitate toward negative predictions and we feverously eat up bad news -- all because we have a lopsided view of Bible prophecy. *It's time to get biblically* correct!** Not one time in the Bible does God's Spirit direct us to focus on the devil and his crowd. Everywhere in the Scriptures we are told to keep our eyes on the Lord. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear! In order to be biblically correct, we must exchange the popular stigma of horror produced by guessing and gloom for the spirit of faith and fervor that God intended believers to grasp. For the Christian, Revelation should be a book of victory, the climax of history where we discover how Jesus wins and His enemies loose. I believe that God gave me the message of The First Five Words for "such a time as this," a time when you and I need godly hope and biblical vision like never before. For those who study Revelation, The First Five Words will give you God's perspective of John's Vision and will enrich your understanding of the End-times. Ministers will find this book especially useful behind the pulpit. Rediscover the Book of Revelation -- the revelation of Jesus Christ -- today!
