Everything that Jesus taught while on earth has came true. Jesus sits now on the right side of God in heaven, once a human, then persecuted, and put to death, and then Jesus rose from the grave to live again, finishing his journey and mission so that we could be forgiven of our sins and have eternial life. It would show people that Christ never lost faith and has recieved his place in heaven, and if we follow Jesus we too will recieve our place in heaven. It is very important to a balanced faith as it shows that no matter what we face if one stays faithful, they will have peace and eternal life.

Iraq is a country where Christians are a major target. The Book of Revelation will aid in comfort and encouragement by reassuring them that if they stay faithful, and don't lose site of God, there is a greater day approaching, where they will suffer no more. and it is not far away.

It tells us that God and Jesus are the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega, and the first and last. God was the first in the old testament as He dealt directly with his chosen people, and upon the realization that their wicked ways were not going to stop God had to send Jesus to be killed, and by the blood of Christ could anyone be saved. So, Jesus became the first in the New Testament, the first to be raised from the dead, as will his followers. Through Jesus is the only way you can come to God. And God and Jesus both will be there on judgement day and will have the last words in this world.

The theme of testimony and witness are very important as it helps strengthen ones own relationship with God. It lets us know that what ever we may face never give up our beliefs and love of God, because there will be a day when we will rest is heaven with Jesus. Jesus was the most faithful one as he never doubted his Father, he trusted him no matter what trials and tribulations he had to face. Jesus was the role model that God sent to earth for us to follow. I think that people have an issue with what others may think, instead of what God may think.
