Write What You See

In Rev. 1:9-20, John is commissioned by the Lord Jesus to "write in a book" the revelation he is about to receive. The main FUNCTION of this commissioning is to highlight the divine authority of Jesus Christ over his people, and over all human history. In this commissioning sequence, we find three important truths about the Kingdom of Christ - realities that will help prepare Christians for the journey they're on in this life, and to provide them with hope and endurance to make it safely home.
