John the apostle of Jesus receives a vision of and a message from Jesus himself, now ascended to heaven and glorified. The message is for Jesus’ persecuted people gathered in churches in Asia Minor then and for believers everywhere now. John, the human author, sets a great example for his readers. His experience of tribulation has landed him in prison on the island of Patmos, but he is in the Spirit presenting a vision from another world to inspire new heart, fresh hope and patient endurance.
