Summary:
Revelation is an apocalyptic and prophetic letter written to the church, calling them to patiently hopeful endurance in the midst of suffering and persecution as they await the return of Christ in judgment and salvation.
In Revelation 6-11, the scroll is unsealed to reveal the realty of the consequences of sin and the pending judgment for it. And, the special responsibility of the Church: to stand for Christ and demonstrate His kingdom to a world that is lost and suffering.
