Revelation 1:3
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

God promises a special blessing to those that read, hear and keep these things that are written. He would not have said that if we were unable to comprehend these truths. This Book is filled with understandable truths that bring joy to the heart because it contains the message of the Saviour.
For the time is at hand means "imminent" or "impending". So literally this could mean immediatley or in 10 minutes or 10 days, 10 months or even 10 years. Having said that, Jesus' return for His Church (the Rapture) could happen at any moment! Exciting Stuff! This is why, as Christians, we should keep our eyes focused on heaven, looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. (Titus 2:13)
Revelation 1:2
[John] bare record of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and of all things he saw.
