Because obviously it was written by the last remaining Apostle John, on the island of Patmos, and you devils, you white people cannot breakdown this bible, because it is not written for you.

Answer:

Revelation prophesys of the events surrounding the fulfillment of the final phases of God's plan; the return of Jesus Christ, Judgment Day, and the "beginning of Eternity for the Family of God" in the New Heavens and Earth.

"...God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God." (Rev.21:3)

"...He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new... It is done." (verses 5-6)

The book of Revelation is in the perfect place in The Bible: Genesis speaks of the beginning of God's plan -- Revelation prophesys of its fulfillment.

Revelation, written by the apostle John, prophecies certain events at the end of the old world, and the birth of a new world.

It is the last book of the Bible because it explains , the first book of the Bible, and the Book of Beginnings.

There are many parallels and contrasts between Revelation and Genesis (which means the "Book of Beginnings" [Hebrew] or "origins" [Greek] ). Some of many are:-

-Genesis is about beginnings, the start of everything.

-Revelation is about fulfillment, the end of everything.

-Genesis opens with Satan, powerful and free to roam.

-Revelation closes with Satan, weak, beaten, and imprisoned.

-Genesis is the first book of the Bible

-Revelation is the last book of the Bible

-Genesis prophesies the Messiah.

-Revelation is the fulfillment of the Messiah

-Genesis prophesizes the Messiah.

-Revelation is the fulfillment of the Messiah

-Genesis begins with creation of material world

-Revelation ends with of spiritual world

-Genesis is about the end of material human history as we know it,

-Revelation is about the beginning of a spiritual re-creation.

There is no single reason why the Book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible as many are interlinked.

Jesus explains the purpose of the book at the very beginning:

"A revelation [apocalypse; a surprising and previously unknown fact] given by Jesus Christ [not John] which God [the Father] gave to Him, TO MAKE KNOWN TO HIS SLAVES [servants] WHAT MUST VERY SOON TAKE PLACE... Blessed be the man WHO READS them and the people WHO HEAR the messages of this prophecy read, AND HEED what is written in it, for the time is near." (Rev.1:1-3 WNT Weymouth's New Testament)

However... Revelation is written as a "parable" that Jesus always spoke to the general public so that they wouldn't understand what He was saying. Then He would disperse the crowds and explain the meaning of His parables "privately" to His disciples.

Thus, is the book of Revelation not understood to this day by most people... yet with many ideas and notions regarding what it's about coming from any and every direction. The world simply refuses to GO TO JESUS, PRIVATELY, for His Personal, Intimate clarification as to what it's about [the world doesn't go to Him as His slaves or Obedient servants; whom He professes to be His "friends" -- see John 15:14].

But to hit the high points... Christ's revelation to His Obedient servants are being shown what is going to happen on this earth and to this earth in the last days before He returns to earth -- the time to which the prophecies refer as "the Day of the LORD": the Day when the LORD Jesus will return with His angelic army, and send His angels to gather His Faithful servants to Himself in the clouds prior to His descent upon the earth.

Then He will come down to earth and smash all of man's Satan-designed, ruled and guided governments... and begin to establish God's Government on the earth, just as the prophecies have always promised:

"...And THE GOVERNMENT WILL REST ON HIS SHOULDERS... His ever-expanding, Peaceful Government [Kingdom] will NEVER END. He will Rule forever with fairness and Justice from the throne of His ancestor David. The passionate commitment of the LORD Almighty will GUARANTEE THIS!" (Isa.9:6-7 NLT New Living Translation)

"...the God of heaven will SET UP A KINGDOM THAT WILL NEVER BE DESTROYED; no one will ever conquer it. It will shatter all these kingdoms [of man on earth] into nothingness, but it will stand forever. That is the meaning of the Rock [Jesus Christ] cut from the mountain by supernatural means, crushing to dust the statue of iron [Rome], bronze [Greece], silver [Persia], and gold [Babylon]. The Great God has shown Your Majesty WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. The dream [vision] is True, and it's meaning IS CERTAIN." (Dan.2:44-45 NLT)

The book of Revelation is about the final fulfillment of these and more ancient prophecies of the Good News [gospel] of the coming Kingdom of God being reestablished and restored to earth, where Satan and his angels destroyed it in the beginning, before man was made: a "Star Wars-type" conflict in heaven [see Rev.12:7] that turned our galaxy into an empty battlefield of floating debris and dead planets... when the earth suddenly "became without form and void" from the impact of Satan and his rebellious army's being "cast back down to the earth" after their government coup attempt was thwarted by Michael and his army:

"Then there was war in heaven. Michael and the angels under his command fought the Dragon and his angels. And the Dragon lost the battle and was forced out of heaven. This great Dragon - the ancient Serpent called the Devil, or Satan, the one DECEIVING THE WHOLE WORLD - was thrown down to the earth with all his angels." (Rev.12:7-9 NLT)

The book of Revelation is broken down into SEVEN SEALS... the seventh seal of which is the symbol for the "final global event" that shall transform the face of the earth... and its future: the DAY OF THE LORD; the Day Jesus Christ returns to earth!

The seventh seal is then broken down into "seven trumpet plagues"... wind-borne plagues that occur during the three-and-a-half year time frame of the coming Great Tribulation [seal 5 of Revelation chapter 6]. These plagues will be wielded by the Two Witnesses during this three-and-a-half period [see Revelation's inset chapter 11 for the testimony and commission of these future Two Witnesses].

"...My Two Witnesses... will prophesy during those 1,260 days [three-and-a-half years]... They have the Power to shut the skies so that no rain will fall for as long as they prophesy. And they have the Power to turn the rivers and oceans into blood, and to send every kind of plague upon the earth as often as they wish." (Rev.11:3-6 NLT)

Notice that it isn't until their "witness" and testimony is complete after three-and-a-half years [the conclusion of the Great Tribulation] that they are killed. And after three-and-a-half DAYS -- the "seventh trumpet is sounded!"

Prophecy reveals that Jesus Christ will return at the "LAST Trumpet!" [I Thess.4:16 & I Cor.15:52 & Matt.24:31] And right there in Revelation's 11th chapter the "seventh and last trumpet sounds":

"And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, 'THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND OF HIS CHRIST; and HE SHALL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER.'" (Rev.11:15 KJV)

The book of Revelation is about the final global events that precede Jesus' return to earth with His Kingdom, to establish Right Government on earth.

And just as the "seventh seal" on the scroll in Revelation chapter 6 turns into the "seven trumpet plagues" in Revelation 8; the "last of the seven trumpets" then become "seven vial plagues" in Revelation 15, which are poured out in chapter 16 -- or "the last seven plagues of God's wrath" about to be poured out on the earth before Jesus finally descends upon the planet.

"Then I saw in heaven another significant event, and it was great and marvelous. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God's wrath to completion." (Rev.15:1 NLT)

Revelation ends with Jesus' return with His army [chapter 19]... and His removal of Satan from influencing the nations of the earth during His thousand year Rule over the earth... and with Judgment Day [chapter 20].

Then Revelation ends with a glimpse into the future... after this present plan of God is completed. It reveals a New Earth where the Father in heaven descends upon it with His very throne and the Holy City New Jerusalem. It concludes with the New Earth, a shining jewel, becoming the CENTRAL HEADQUARTERS OF THE UNIVERSE! [chapter 21]

"...'Behold, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW.' And He said unto me, 'Write: for these Words are True and Faithful... He that overcometh shall inherit all things [the universe]; and I will be His God, and HE SHALL BE MY SON." (Rev.21:5-7 KJV)

The book of Revelation is about the final events on earth that conclude God's present plan to save His creation, man, the Children of His future Family... and to save the earth from Satan-worshiping man's destruction of the earth if it were left to his own devices.

And it's a brief glimpse into the bright, Happy, Joyful, Peaceful... Perfect future of the newborn Children of the Immortal Family of God.
