Summary

This is an introduction to the book of Revelation as the testimony of Jesus Christ given to John to give to the church. It offers three promises: 1) blessings to those who read and adhere; 2) assurance that Jesus is coming again; 3) that Jesus as the “Alpha and Omega” will oversee the end just as the Creator He oversaw the beginning.
