In a radical shift, John's letter to the churches begins to look at the new Kingdom that will be established after the old order of things is done.

With the devil and his demons in the lake of fire, it's time for mankind to face final judgment for their actions and inactions.

In one final (and ultimately unsuccessful) push of rebellion, the Dragon attempts to stir up the nations against God.

The Church's spiritual adversary is bound while the rule and reign of Christ is established and spreads.

Instead of a grand battle between Jesus and those who oppose Him, Jesus already stands victorious.

John sees yet another title validating the work of Jesus - The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

With the sword of His word, Jesus carries out the wrath of God as He judges the nations.

Jesus returns, but is not alone. Behind the Rider comes armies from heaven!

Jesus makes quite an entrance, wearing clothes that are dipped in blood.

John describes more about this Rider, giving us strong (and obvious) hints that this figure is Jesus.
