While considered to be controversial and difficult, the last book in the New Testament is a message of hope to seven churches in Asia Minor: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. John the Apostle wrote the book while in exile on the island of Patmos in approximately 95 A.D. In this series we will attempt to demystify these writings and see if the revelation contains a word of promise and warning for the times in which we live. This is a book of letters, seals, trumpets, angels, dragons, beasts and bowls. It is filled with mystery, metaphor, judgment, triumph and God’s great good news for us today.
Six seals have been broken. It's time for the seventh seal, the opening of the book and a picture of the end.
A voice from heaven interrupts the final catastrophic judgment of the world. This message is good news for everyone who hears it.
The holy city is revealed. God's will is for the final redemption of the nations. The garden of Genesis has grown into a city. God's work is culminating.
