Background: The time given for this writing is 96
SAD. on the Isle of Patmos. John is here on exile for con
tinuing to preach the gospel against orders from Rome.
The intent was to cut off his communications, but God
turned the situation around by using the exile period as an
opportunity to communicate through John with the seven
churches of Asia.
Lesson: The New
Jerusalem is the topic of
discussion in verses 9
through 21. One of the
seven angles takes John to
see "the bride, the wife of
the Lamb" who is the
redeemed, the believers,
and the saints if you will.
It's worth mentioning also
that John had to be in the
"Spirit" to even see ... He
was awake and in the
Spirit, not asleep and
dreaming. Hence die title
