“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart.
I have overcome the world” (Jesus) A kaleidoscope of symbols, images, and numbers, Revelation is often seen as a weird, other-worldly book. Yet it was written to support flesh and blood Christians facing all-too-real challenges in the cities of Asia Minor. With prophetic vision and a pastor’s heart, John shows them two cities they cannot see – and who will have the final word.
