The book of Revelation was written during a time of heavy persecution of the early Church by the Romans authorities. The book was written as resistance literature. Written as an exhortation and admonition to Christians of the first century to stand firm in faith and not to compromise with paganism even in the face of hardship and martyrdom.Book of Revelation 5:8-10. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints; and they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and hast made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on earth."
