<p class="font_7">Revelation was given to John while he was on Patmos and addresses churches facing pressure to compromise in a hostile world. As apocalyptic literature, it uses vivid symbolic imagery, much of it drawn from earlier Scripture, especially the prophets, to unveil spiritual realities and the certainty of Christ’s ultimate victory. The book is not written to encourage speculation about modern headlines but to call believers to worship, perseverance, holiness, and hope. In the biblical timeline, Revelation closes the canon by bringing the biblical story to its culmination in judgment, renewal, and the final triumph of the Lamb.&nbsp;</p>
