Revisiting Revelation

The book of Revelation is not a coded timetable, nor a speculative map of the end-times. It is a letter written by the Apostle John to first-century Christians living in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). It aims to bring encouragement and hope to disciples of Jesus living in turbulent times. As G.K. Beale puts it, “Revelation is the Bible’s battle cry of victory.” 

Through dramatic symbols drawn from the Old Testament, Revelation equips the church with the heavenly perspective needed to persevere in faith until the end. In this series, we will see:

-Jesus rules from the throne.

-The church is spiritually protected even as it suffers.

-Evil is judged and defeated.

-God’s mission advances through the witness of His people.

-The Lamb will return to renew creation and dwell with His people forever.

Revelation calls the church not to fear, but to faithful endurance, confident that the Lamb is victorious and His victory is ours.
