In part 3 of a multi-part series on the Book of Revelation.  The 7 Churches in Asia Minor and the martyr of Antipas, likely the leader of the congregation or branch in Pergamos, likely due to refusal to acknowledge the emperor as supreme god is described in a way to give hope.  In chapter 3:19-21, Jesus is described as always "knocking at the door" of every person, just waiting to be let in.  The meaning of the "beasts" or animals and the elders in heaven is that all faithful people and animals may enter into Heaven.  Next week, chapter 6 and the opening of the 7 seals.
