Admonition Podcast

Aaron Cozort teaches Revelation 22 as a vision of God's kingdom and the church, contrasting its life-giving source and healing with the corruption of Rome and the complacency of Laodicea. He argues that Revelation offered first-century Christians assurance amid persecution: Christ's judgment of oppressive powers is certain, and the faithful have hope regardless of what lies ahead.
