In Christ – Revelation 14. After an account of the great trials and sufferings which the servants of God had endured, we have now a more pleasant scene opening; the day begins now to dawn.
Revelation 13 – The Beast out of the Sea & The Beast out of the Earth. John’s use of I saw (vv. 1, 2) marks a return to the first-person narrative style. He now abruptly reminds us that he is an eyewitness to the events he describes.
