How true is the book of Revelations?

I find Revelations to be the most striking book of the bible due to its view on the world we live in today. It says that the Antichrist would appear during end times and force people to worship some beast. What's you take on this, is the Antichrist already here and is it a person or an institution?

The book of Revelation is true. It tells us about the present and the future. However, the word antichrist does not appear in the book of Revelation not even once as far as I can see. Could you give us a Scripture in the book of Revelation that mentions the antichrist? Antichrist as explained in 1 John and 2 John means someone that is opposed to Christ and his teachings therefore there are many antichrists in the world. 1 John 2:18-19 King James Version (KJV) 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 1 John 2:22 King James Version (KJV) 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. The world is full on antichrists as we can see from the biblical explanation.

The BOOK of REVELATION is very unique and no other BOOK compared to this SACRED Book. The revelation itself are happened decades ago but it get worsts than ever before of the history of Humankind. It revealed how it ends and how we are going to life forever and ever. Ready or not The Creator of HEAVEN and EARTH is coming.

The anti-christ slowly creeping up to our society now. They make everything which was not acceptable to be acceptable nowadays. Last time people fight to keep the law within the teaching of the Bible. now many laws have been reviewed and many are against teaching of the Bible.

This prophecy in the book of Revelation has already found fulfillment about 2,000 years ago. The antiChrist is just one person.

Greetings OtisHum30. Very nice question indeed. And welcome to the club. Let the contents of the book of Revelation speaks for itself. From the beginning chapter up to the last chapter, it stresses the nature and purpose why it was written. First chapter, Rev.1:3, "Blessed is he that read, and they that hear the words of this PROPHECY, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand". Last chapter, Rev. 22:18-19, "For I testify unto every man that hear the words of the PROPHECY of this book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in the book; v-19, "and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this PROPHECY, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city,and from the things which are written in this book" In other words, Revelation is a book of Prophecy. As far as Prophecy is concerned, Let the words written in II Peter 1:19-21 speaks for itself, "We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY...V-20, "knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION, V-21, "For the PROPHECY came not in old time by the will of man; BUT HOLY OF GOD SPAKE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST (spirit)". All the best mangtony.
