The story, plainly
Apocalyptic in five questions
What happens
From exile on Patmos, the apostle John is shown what must take place: the risen Christ among the lampstands, seven letters to seven churches, the throne room of heaven, seals, trumpets, and bowls: and at the end, the King returning, the dragon destroyed, and a new heaven and new earth.
Why it matters
The unveiling of Jesus Christ: history has a throne over it and a wedding at the end of it. Blessed is the one who reads, hears, and keeps what is written.
