“gates (21:12) and the 12 names written on the foundations of the wall (v. 14) of the new Jerusalem?” (Page 79)

“Central to Revelation is its assertion that Christ has already won the victory over Satan through his death, and has therefore freed Christians from their sins by his blood (1:5).” (Page 7)

“Because Christ has already conquered Satan through his uniquely redemptive suffering, Christians can also ‘conquer’ in the present by holding fast their witness in the face of enticing temptation or violent persecution, even if their faithful witness results in death.” (Page 7)

“If we approach Revelation (as many do) simply to satisfy intellectual curiosity about end-time events, we’ll miss the blessing it has for us. That blessing comes to those who hear God speaking, trust his plan, and obey his commands.” (Page 15)

“If Jesus is the ultimate revealer of God, one must know and accept Jesus in order to know God” (Page 15)
