Revelation brings the existence of evil and evil beings into clear focus. We all tend to focus on the here and now and visible. However, there are evil forces all around us - seeking to destroy us. One third of all created angels have rebelled against God and are opposed to Him and His people.
We need to be aware of the forces of darkness. However, we have misconceptions about what we do believe. We think evil ones are only trying to get us to commit murder, sexual immorality, steal pensions, etc. Yes, they are, but most attacks are much more subtle. They are also wanting us to spend more time pursuing our careers, seeking bigger houses and more toys, spend excessive amounts of time on video games, etc. - just not focus on God and the things of God.
We need to be aware of the nature of the attacks - anything keeping us from Christ and obeying His commands.
