Open Heaven Church

Who has your allegiance? Who and what are the idols of our day? Dragons, beasts and lambs. Revelation uses poetic writing to convey central truths, adopting symbolic imagery and numbers drawn from Old Testament prophecies. The author builds images rich with metaphor and allusion to talk about cosmic and earthly superpowers. As it reveals Jesus, so does it reveal the corruption of the Roman empire. It calls every Christian in every era to pull their allegiance to Christ and his Kingdom and be guarded against the allure of the world. At its impressive height, no one could have imagined the fall of the Roman Empire, and yet it is not the beast or the dragon that lasts but the eternal lamb.
