Historical Background

The book of Revelation was written by John around 96 AD when Christians were facing persecution under Emperor Domitian. This passage reassures believers that despite hardships, God's ultimate judgment will be revealed, bringing justice and universal acknowledgment of His holiness.

Living It Out Today
