TEE REVELATION 583 vision were opened the glories of heaven. He was permitted to see the throne of God, and looking beyond the conflicts of earth, to behold the whiterobed throng of the redeemed. He heard the music of the heavenly angels, and the triumphant songs of those who had overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. In the revelation given to him there was unfolded scene after scene of thrilling interest in the experience of the people of God, and the history of the church was foretold to the very close of time. In figures and symbols, subjects of vast importance were presented to John, which he was to record, that the people of God living in his age and in future ages might have an intelligent understanding of the perils and conflicts before them. This revelation was given for the guidance and comfort of the church throughout the Christian dispensation. Yet religious teachers have declared that it is a sealed book and its secrets cannot be explained. Therefore many have turned from the prophetic record, refusing to devote time and study to its mysteries. But God does not wish His people to regard the book thus. It is 'Hhe revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass.'' ^ ' Blessed is he that readeth, ' ' the Lord declares, ' ' and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. ' ' ^ ' ' I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add ^Eev. 1:1,3.
