In this episode, Rob and Vinnie examine Rev 1:9-20. What does it mean that the Kingdom is one of Tribulation that requires perseverance? What does the Bible say about the Tribulation? They also look at why John was on Patmos. Finally, they discuss the significance of Jesus as the center of the book of Revelation.
