Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the presence of people. And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who *had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause all who do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, and he decrees that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

It's the only book of the Bible that specifically says the one who reads it will be blessed -
Revelation 1:3 - "Blessed is the one who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things which are written in it; for the time is near."
When all the shit hits the fan, things will be very difficult and it will become a challenge to faithfully trust in God through it unless you are already mentally and spiritually prepared for it.

Growing up in the Catholic Church I never understood why the Book of Revelation (Apocolypse) was never read or talked about. The entire Bible is read in mass during a three year cycle, excluding the Apocolypse chapters. I stopped going to church when they went full on for illegal aliens.

Yeah, for the Christian the Apocolypse is a good thing, it's when Jesus is revealed. For the rest of the world who rejects Jesus (blasphemy of the Holy Spirit), well... it won't be such a positive experience for them when the seven trumpets sound.
