After the churches (Revelation 3-4: the church age), John was invited to the throne room of heaven. There he saw God sitting upon His glorious throne surrounded by angels and elders. But the key to understanding Revelation 4 and 5 is centered on the BOOK that He is holding in his right hand. No one, other than the Lamb of God – Jesus, the Messiah – is worthy to receive the book and reveal its contents.
Now that the church has been raptured and is in heaven with the Lord Jesus, we prepare for the Tribulation Period. But before it begins, we are introduced to God on His glorious throne preparing to give this revelation to Jesus, the Lamb of God.
Abraham’s greatest act of faith is his willingness to sacrifice his only son. Much of this depicts what God the Father will do through His own Son, Jesus the Messiah many centuries later.
It has often been said that the concept of the Trinity is not found in the Old Testament. And also it is argued that the fathers had no idea of such an understanding of God’s person.

In His final letter to the last church, Jesus indicates that this is a totally unsaved church. Although they are rich in material prosperity, they are spiritually impoverished and bankrupt. This is the picture of today’s church – the church of the last days.
After the Reformation period was the period of evangelism – Philadelphia (1700-1900). Like Smyrna, Jesus had nothing bad to say about this church. He graciously opened the door for evangelism and Christian missionary work all over the world.
