The ULB does this with the poetry in verses 3-4. + +#### Special concepts in this chapter + +##### "Victorious over the beast" + +Those who are "victorious over the beast" are spiritually victorious. While most spiritual battles cannot be seen, the Book of Revelation pictures spiritual battles as openly occurring. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/spirit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-apocalypticwriting]]) + +##### "The temple having the tent of witness was open in heaven" + +Scripture elsewhere indicates the earthly temple copied God's perfect dwelling place in heaven. Here John seems to refer to God's heavenly dwelling place or temple. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/heaven]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-apocalypticwriting]]) + +##### Songs + +The Book of Revelation often describes heaven as a place where people sing. They worship God with songs. This illustrates that heaven is a place where God is always worshiped. + +## Links: + +* __[Revelation 15:01 Notes](./01.md)__ + +__[<<](../14/intro.md) | [>>](../16/intro.md)__
