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.
As the church faithfully witnesses the victory of Jesus Christ, Satan is not silent. Though defeated, he sets up a copy-cat kingdom of political power and false religion in an effort to deceive, kill, steal, and destroy. Revelation 12 & 13 tells us that those who side with Satan are marked as his disciples through their thoughts and actions.
