"WHAT THOU SEEST, WRITE IN A BOOK"

Revelation 1:11

Viahnett S. Martin

How often evil's vicious deed but givesintended victim new direction, scope:denied free speech, he writes a book that livesfar, far beyond the author's pent-up hope!Domitian banished John to Patmos. Therethe need of cherished brethren filled his thought(not pity for his plight), his constant prayerfor Seven Churches. Aid divine he soughtand so received a vision. Could not speakthe message which, inspired, he longed to preach;thus was he forced to write in flaming Greekimmortal words that would have worldwide reach.

To bless mankind, so Revelation came:its author, "son of thunder"—right the name!
