Non Violent Resistance in the Book of Revelation

Hupo mone is a key word in the book of revelation. John doesn't want his people to act violently, but he does want them to resist claims that rome and Rome caesar are lord. In the time of the civil rights movement, it was against segregation where african americans were held as less. You witness against that, and you do what the book of Revelation calls for. That is, you resist the counter claim that represents another kind of lordship.
