The believer can learn much theology from Revelation. but there is a warning from John to the Church of Ephesus. This is a warning we all should heed, to understand, believe, and even to defend the faith. There is always more to do whatever temptation and alternative ideas on faith emerge, it is crucial to persistently Love the Lord with all our hearts and our minds. Our Lord and Our Friend needs to become first in our lives. Only in this way will we have the chance to become over comers

Getting to know Our Lord and Our Friend in total reality of Him being The Christ, and we will understand that IN HIM, we CANNOT become overcome.

John 1 verses 4 and 5:

V4: “Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men {People}”.

V5: That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it.”

All we are is in Christ Jesus and in Christ Jesus {Our Lord and Our Friend}, we cannot be overcome, that is the hope we have and the hope that is revealed in Revelation.

John is writing in Revelation to proclaim the Word of God, and he writes to tell us that.

The Greeting in Revelation is what theologians call a Trinitarian Greeting. It starts with a description of The Father, the supreme sovereign Lord of the entire universe, past, present and future {Rev 1 verse 4}. The Seven Spirit before the throne represent The Holy Spirit, {Rev 1 verse 4} and in Rev 1 verse 5 first part we have a description of Jesus.

In Rev 1 verse 8: God is referred to in three ways:

1. Alpha and Omega – Beginning and End, meaning God lives in an eternal state.

2. Who is, who was, and who is to come. Although living outside of time, still dwells in time to deal with those living in the present, those living in the past, and those living in the future.

3. The Almighty, He has absolute control and has the best for all our lives in hand.

Revelation confirms how Great the God we believe in is, and He is a God that has great plans for us all.

It is ours to accept and believe and trust In Him. that He is all Who He has revealed He is in Revelation, and He has everything under His control.

This is The Eternal Hope we all should have. Made Clear by how much He loves us all.

God Bless.
