The clue of the Revelation is that John does not philosophize but writes what he sees and hears.

When our ears open and we begin to hear and understand what God wants to say to us, a great change is starting in our lives.

We get a new perspective. We recognize that God loves us and have good thoughts about us. Whoever reads the revelation with this view discovers in her a God who fights for people. Who wants to move them to repentance and insight in every conceivable way.

The book is to be read in the congregation (Revelation 1:3) so that people on the Jesus path receive comfort and confidence and focus on Jesus.
