Why doesn’t God just bring the end now? If God has a good end planned for history, what is he waiting for?

If judgment alone won’t bring the rebellious world to repentance, what will?

The answer to both those questions is the secret that John’s Revelation reveals.

It is the church’s suffering witness that will lead the nations to repentance!

Martyrdom. This is the way.
