To start any Biblical study, we need to do the customary who, what, where, when and why to frame for ourselves as much background information on this letter as possible. This gives us our context for applying this letter to our lives. Who is the Author? Who is the Audience? The What, the Where, the When and the Why of it all. We also touch on the historical setting, the Chronology of the book, and we look at time and how it is to be understood in prophetic literature.
