“The purpose of theology is not to tickle our intellects but to instruct us in the ways of God, so that we can grow up into maturity and fullness of obedience to Him. That is why we engage in theology.”
― R.C. Sproul, Everyone's a Theologian: An Introduction to Systematic Theology

“Revelation is, as its Greek title implies, apocalyptic-not in the modern sense of "catastrophic" but in the ancient sense of "unveiling, disclosing" in vivid, visual form the invisible realities and forces that drive and therefore explain the course of observable historical events.”
― Dennis E. Johnson, Triumph of the Lamb: A Commentary on Revelation

“You cannot understand any individual passage in Revelation unless you understand the book as a whole, but you cannot understand the hook as a whole unless you understand its individual passages.”
― Dennis E. Johnson, Triumph of the Lamb: A Commentary on Revelation

“The poor, who have nothing in themselves, to them comes the kingdom. The meek, who seek nothing in themselves, will inherit the earth. The blessings of heaven and earth are for the lowly. For the heavenly and the earthly life, humility is the secret of blessing.”
― Andrew Murray, Humility: The Beauty of Holiness
