Quick answer
The book ends with a blessing of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ upon all the saints. Revelation closes, as it began, in the grace of Christ.
Overview
Fittingly, the final word of the Bible is grace, the unmerited favor of God in Christ that sustains his people. This benediction assures believers that grace accompanies them as they await the fulfillment of all they have seen. The entire sweep of Scripture rests at last on the grace of the Lord Jesus.
