Revelation: The Great Conflict | Rules of Engagement - Gene Curtis

John concludes this section by calling for the patience and faith of the saints, echoing his previous words to the seven churches about their own obedience and faithfulness. Here, he warns that those destined for captivity or death will experience it, but the ultimate victory of believers lies in their steadfast endurance rather than earthly resistance.
