John doesn't even begin sharing the visions he was given by Jesus before he erupts in praise for Jesus. In these verses, which are sandwiched by reference to the Eternity and Dominion of God, John summarizes Jesus' work, and Jesus' inevitable return; his first and second coming. His return will be witnessed by us all, and we will be held to account, regardless of what we think about Christ in this life.
