Catholics know! The word “happy” is rarely found in The Bible. Proverbs 16:20 “He who heeds the word wisely will find good, and whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he.”
That ties in with Psalm 144:15. “Happy the nation of whom this is true, happy are the people whose God is the Lord.”
The Book of Revelation is The Last Book in The Bible. It begins by telling us where to find “Truth”.
“This is the revelation given by God to Jesus Christ so that He could tell His servants about the things which are now to take place very soon; He sent His angel to make it known to His servant, John, and John has written down everything he saw and swears it is the Word of God guaranteed by Jesus Christ.”

Then, St. John tells us how to be “happy”! Truth + Obedience = Happiness
Rev. 1:3 is clear. “Happy the man who reads this prophecy, and happy those who listen to him, if they treasure all that it says, because the Time is close.”
Catholics note the word “if”! It is not enough to “listen“! We must “treasure” all that “this prophecy” teaches. Only those who “listen” and “treasure all that it says” may be “happy”.
If we “treasure” Words of God, we will obey them! Truth + Obedience = Happiness
~
The entire Book of Revelation is a “Prophesy”! It tells us of The End of The World! Our human souls will live beyond the “End of the world”. Immortal souls who “treasured” Words of The Prophesy on earth may spent eternity in Heaven.
Many refuse to “treasure” Words of The Prophesy. Those immortal souls have the opposite of eternal joy.
Catholics know! “Every Teaching of Jesus Christ is an Instruction we must obey.”
We begin with This Teaching of Jesus Christ!
“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
No one who rejects “the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven” can ever be “happy”.
