The Revelation of Jesus Christ for Churches of All Ages!The Revelation to John was written in the first century when Christians were being persecuted because they would not renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. The Revelation is a letter circulated to seven churches with the purpose of giving hope and encouragement to believers facing difficult times.For the most part, The Revelation was written in symbolic language that would have been understood by John’s readers but would have remained a mystery to the pagan culture that surrounded them.The Lion, The Root & The Lamb, based on the pictures of Jesus in Revelation 5: 5,6 (the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, and the Lamb which was slain), will help you understand many of the ancient pictures and themes in The Revelation and presents them in devotionals that apply to living in our modern day world.About the AuthorLaurence Croswell was born, raised, and educated in Alberta where he graduated from the University of Alberta.
