Rev 1:3 How blessed is the one who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and obey what is written in it, for the time is near!
How blessed indeed you will be if you read what is written in Revelations.
Revelations as a prophetic revelation made by Jesus Christ, is literal as well as figuratively. This book must be viewed as being literal, except were it is otherwise obvious figurative speach, where it is obvious symbolic and in instances were it is highly improbable to be literal.
Revelations ".... is the revelation of Jesus Christ. God gave it to him to show his servants the things that must happen soon. He sent this revelation through his angel to his servant John" (Rev 1:1 ) and was addressed to the seven churches at the time in Asia. It is also however addressed to the the Church of Jesus Christ i.e all the churches of Jesus Christ throughout the ages of time that has followed.
The Holy Scripture is not a systematic composition, in other words theology, or history, or science, or any topic but it is a revelation from GOD. It reveals GOD's plan and goal throughout the ages in regard to the earth and humans.
Revelations is the most wonderful inspired book as it's name indeed depicts: It is a REVELATION!

Rev 22:6-7
(6) He said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show his servants the things that must happen soon. (7) I'm coming soon! Blessed is the one who follows the words of the prophecy in this book."
Father God, I am so thankful for redemption thought Jesus Christ alone, for grace and for the hope in my heart by the power of the Holy Spirit which makes me exited and waiting on the coming of your Son, Jesus Christ, my Saviour, my Redeemer. In the wonderful naam of Jesus Christ, I give you al the honour and praise.
Amen
