The book of Revelation is a letter addressed to a group of seven churches in Asia Minor. These churches were being threatened by a totalitarian state, false teaching, and even immorality within the churches. In this message, Fr. Toms shows that though the Church has faced similar crises throughout her history, she has survived. The Lord of the Church is still the prince of the kings of the earth and the Church is still his bride. He will always protect and purify His Church, no matter the crises she must face.
