It is the destruction of evil and the victory of good, according to the religious viewpoint, and it's very exciting. You are the center of the universe, the cosmic drama is coming to its ultimate conclusion in your time. Everything believers do is of cosmic significance.

Revelation only makes sense as a book describing the relationship of early Christians with Rome. One reason it's so powerful is that it is sufficiently vague and symbolic so you can come up with almost any sign or date if you work at it. Revelations holds the promise of a New Jerusalem, a thousand-year kingdom of peace and plenty, and a new heaven and new Earth. Water will turn to blood. A talking statue will inspire worship and people will be forced to wear a strange mark in order to buy or sell anything.
