What is the primary subject of the book of Revelation?
The primary subject of the book of Revelation is the nation of Israel. It focuses on God dealing with His covenant people once again in preparation for His return, with Gentile nations affected but Israel's seven-year treaty providing the time framework for the events.
Les explains that the book of Revelation is dealing almost exclusively, or primarily, with the nation of Israel. It is God dealing now with His covenant people once again in preparation for His return. Naturally, all the Gentile nations are going to be affected by it, but it is Israel's seven-year treaty that concerns itself with the time factor and everything taking place. The book also reveals an unholy trinity during the tribulation: Satan as the counterfeit of God the Father, the Antichrist as the counterfeit of God the Son, and the false prophet as the counterfeit of the Holy Spirit, not so much in makeup but in operation. The false prophet is described as another beast, a man but also a religious system, not a political government.
