Revelation 2 & 3
Jeremiah Dodson
“Revelation is not about the antichrist, but about the living Christ. It is not about a rapture out of this world but about faithful discipleship in this world. That is, like every other New Testament book, Revelation is about Jesus Christ- ‘A revelation of Jesus Christ’ (Rev 1:1)- and about following him in obedience and love.” -Michael Gorman
