The book of Revelation, as the last book of the Bible, provides us with the consummation and climax of God's revelation. It is the terminus for all the great truths found in the rest of Scripture, many of which have their beginning in Genesis. It is God's final word to man. This in itself makes this book tremendously significant. But the most important element of the book is that it is a special revelation of Jesus Christ Himself anticipating the glory of His second coming and His final victory over the forces of darkness and evil so prominent in the world today.
