#1, Q1 Revelation is written to encourage and strengthen a church facing intense persecution. Why is the theme of testimony and witness so important to that purpose? The importance of witnessing to each other is not only to help build our own faith but to help others in their deeper search for Jesus Christ. ``When God gave the book of revelation to his son Jesus, which held the information concerning the things which must happen soon,Jesus then revealed the book to John who then sent it through his angel. I believe God took such extreme steps to make certain that the people understood the importance of the visions which John saw, the testimony of Jesus Christ and God's messages. God also wanted the people to read the words of prophace, listen to them and obey what was written. Why are we afraid to be witnesses in a culture where we aren't persecuted? I think some Christians, not only in other cultures but in our own culture, are afraid to witness for fear of being persecuted. It is a sad thought but it is getting more serious all the time.
