Richard Bauckham
“We should remember that Revelation’s readers in the great cities of the province of Asia were constantly confronted with powerful images of the Roman vision of the world…. In this context, Revelation provides a set different vision of the world: how it looks from the heaven to which John is caught up in Revelation 4.”

“Remember: as you read Revelation, the question is not, ‘What happens next?’ but, ‘What did John see next?’”
The details may be difficult . . . but the message is unmistakable!
1. Who are you following?
2. If Jesus, will you stay faithful?
3. Meanwhile, where IS Jesus in all of this?
Revelation 1:7a Look he is coming.
Revelation 22:20b Yes, I am coming soon.
Revelation 1:1-2 NIV
