Conrad gives an introduction to the perplexing book of Revelation.  He introduces us to the One who will be doing the revealing, Jesus Christ. 

Although Jesus praises the church in Ephesus, He challenges them to return to their first love. Followers of Jesus should not merely be known for their hard work and dedication but for their love for God and other people.

In Revelation 3, Jesus speaks to the believers in the city of Philadelphia and encourages them to continue in spite of the difficulties they are encountering. To His followers in Laodicea, He sternly encourages them to not put their trust in their wealth but to place their trust in Him.

Why does God have the right to judge the world? He has the right because He is morally perfect, and He is the creator and rightful owner of the universe, and Jesus purchased the world with His blood.
