Baptist History by Baptists 8: The Book of Revelation as a Prophecy to the Lord's Churches.

John describes
the Book of Revelation as a Prophecy,
in
Revelation 22:10, 18;
...
"And He Said to me,
Seal not the Sayings of

The Prophecy of this Book:
for the Time is at Hand..."
...
"...Because I Testify to every man
that hears the Words of

The Prophecy of this Book,
If any man will add to these things,
God Will Add to him
the Plagues that are Written in this Book"
...

Now according to the apostle Paul,
he who prophesies speaks to men for Edification,
Exhortation, and Comfort,
as we read in 1 Corinthians 14:3;
"But he that Prophesies
speaks to men to Edification,
and
Exhortation, and Comfort.
...
This short definition wonderfully captures the flavor
—and the Purpose—of the Revelation.
...
Everywhere we turn,
we hear the exalted Christ
Prophesying to His Churches.
...
Everywhere we find Him Teaching, Warning,
and Encouraging her,

so that she may “Overcome” all opponents
and Safely Enter the Completed Kingdom
at JESUS' RETURN

seen in Revelation 2:11, 2:26;

"He that has an ear,

let him hear
what the Spirit Says
to the churches;

He that Overcomes
Will Not Be Hurt of the Second Death..."
...
"And he that Overcomes,
and
Keeps My Works to the End,

to him
Will I Give Power

Over the Nations."
