子どもにもわかる説明
Imagine you're playing in your favorite playground with all your friends (the saints), and suddenly some bullies try to surround you. But before they can do anything, a big flash of light comes from above and makes those bullies disappear. That's like what happens here but much more serious.
歴史的背景
The Book of Revelation was written by John the Apostle around 96 AD while in exile on Patmos. The audience consisted primarily of early Christian communities facing persecution, offering them hope and endurance through divine promises.
