“It is possible to serve the Lord for a variety of motives—for the praise of men, for prestige or position, for the sake of reputation, because it is simply the thing to do. because of a sense of duty. If service for God is not born of a devoted passion for the Lord Jesus it is worthless.” (Revelation 2:4)
“John is in the Spirit, and he is at the feet of Jesus, the same gracious Savior he had known so well, although terrible now in His glory. John says, ‘And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death’ (vv. 17–18). Hallelujah! What a Savior!” (Revelation 1:10–18)
“The church at Ephesus is the only church in the New Testament to which two apostles addressed letters. When Paul wrote to Ephesus, it was the climactic church of the day.” (Revelation 2:1–7)
“The horsemen, therefore, are not persons, but personifications. Moreover, they are personifications of things most unpleasant indeed.” (Revelation 6:1–2)
“Babylon is to be overthrown because of the magnitude of her sins” (Revelation 18:1–8)

Looking at a couple of the commentaries to see how they are. I choose this one because of People asking about Revelations and want more information. The intersting thing is the OUtlines. Very unique way of doing outlines. I Loved the "LAODICEA: THE FASHIONABLE CHURCH (3:14–22)" SO true for todays society being looking for the next Fashionable thing. Also the use of illustrations for each section makes it a good source for Pastors and Teachers to use to help explain the passages. I also find that he provides both sides of arguement on what each of the Sections in Revelations. Symbolism or is it actual. So many people have different ideas on what the various symbolism stands for. DO not know if he is right or someone else is better at symbolism within Revelations. But feel getting as many suggestions as possible will allow each of us to decide for ourselves what they mean. And God can correct us in Heaven after we die. For there are many things the various denominations claim yet they can not all be right. God will be correcting our thinking in Heaven. I trust God more than man.
