 Denny answers:
The Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John. He wrote the book after God showed him special events that would happen in the future. John wrote these things down so that we could know about them, too. John's book is difficult to understand because God showed him amazing things he had never seen before, things that he couldn't always explain with words we can understand. For example, he described strange creatures that had parts that looked like animals we have today, but we still can't imagine what they really looked like. The Book of Revelation tells us that our world will come to an end and that God will judge everyone. Many horrible things, including a great war, will happen to the earth before God destroys it and creates a new heaven and a new earth. It tells us that everyone who believes in Jesus as their Savior will go to heaven to be with Him. Revelation shows us how amazing heaven will be, and it also tells us that people who don't trust in Jesus will be sent to live in hell.
