Revelation: Victory In Christ

This great book was written to encourage those Christians who were suffering persecution

at the hands of the wicked Domitian. The message is that of victory of Christ and his saints

over the forces of Satan. Christ will be victorious (1:18; 6:2; 11:15; 14:1; 19:16). The saints

will overcome. They will endure (13:10; 14:12), have their robes washed (7:14; 22:14 ASV),

have victory over the beast (15:2), and come out of the tribulation (7:14).

Homer Hailey says of Revelation, “The book is designed to encourage Christians to be faithful in the face of all opposition

and persecution, regardless of how terrible the onslaught might be.”

A summary verse for the book might be Revelation 17:14, “These will make war with the

Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and

those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
