The book of Revelation is a deeply mysterious book full of odd and sometimes frightening imagery such as strange beasts, cryptic numbers such as 666, and visions of apocalypse. Yet stretching through this letter is this image of the throne and the Lamb. Revelation calls us to worship this One. It also calls us to give our allegiance to Him because the empire and its forces are against us. This calls us to a deep discipleship in following the One who sits on the throne.
