                  \u201cRevelation wasn\u2019t written to entertain, or to set out a timeline for the future, or to satisfy our curiosity about when Christ will return. Revelation was written to fortify Christians to live in the world, enduring the harsh treatment and alienation, with a firm confidence that this world is not all there is. In fact, what may seem like defeat is going to give way to victory.\u201d Guthrie- p.23<\/p>\n
