The Bible is simply a love letter about God’s redeeming love for mankind—a message that is as relevant for us today as it was two thousand years ago. Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, and 3 John were written over a period of approximately fifty years. The book of James was the earliest, penned between AD 46 and 49, and Revelation was the last to be recorded; it was written by the apostle John in AD 95 or 96. The General Epistles were written during the years of heavy Roman persecution of the Christian population. The content of some of these letters reflects this increasingly hostile environment. This challenge to Christianity is also very evident in the content and tone of these last nine books of the New Testament. Of course, there could be no better capstone to the New Testament — and, in fact, to the entire Bible — than the book of Revelation. In it, God records His last words about the final days and the ultimate victory of His Son, the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah.
