 In John's wild vision he sees Jesus, dressed like Caesar, speaking to seven illegal churches. And the heavens are torn open, and God is in his sacred court. Jesus is now a lamb slain and alive. Then war breaks out against the empire and the beasts that rule it. Some saints survive and some die. Evil and justice are making war on one another. The devil, the serpent, the dragon, human evil itself is finally defeated. A new Jerusalem appears where the tree of life heals the nations and their hatred. The tears of humanity are wiped away. It ends with an amen, meaning may it be so.
