This book was quite a ride to think through. The book of Revelation and the Bible, on a whole, has huge disclaimers to not add or omit from it. Because of this, I stride a cautious road to not interpret anything more than what it clearly states. Who is the Antichrist, and what 666 is still an unclear riddle. My mind puzzled it, but in the end, I knew it best not to give it my interpretation. All will be understood in hindsight eventually, and personally wouldn't want to meet those hateful characters regardless.
In my writing, I only imagined what the seals were like, I didn't even touch the horrors of the Trumpets or Vial Judgements. In those disasters 1/4 and 1/3 of things are destroyed in a way we've never imagined. Whether it was seas, land, or people it is done on epic proportions. When the sixth seal is opened and the islands and mountains are displaced, what a thing to witness!
To conclude, one could shiver with fright while reading Revelation or the other passages of prophecy in the Bible, but if one truly repents and believes, you have absolutely no fear. You are always protected, and the end is a comfort.
Hebrews 13:5-6, for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
You are not alone in this life. You are loved, and you and your life are valued more than you realized by an all-powerful God. Thomas had that peace and hope in his final moments, and it is offered to all.
