UNVEILING WHAT'S COMING
The Book of Revelation opens with its author, John, describing his work as a “revelation” or apokalypsis, a Greek term meaning an unveiling or uncovering. Rooted in Jewish tradition, this type of literature uses symbolic visions to reveal God’s perspective on history, enabling us to view the present in light of its ultimate conclusion.
Despite the common perception as solely a book of judgment, Revelation offers profound hope, reminding us that God’s plan is actively unfolding and history is directed toward His ultimate purpose. It challenges us to live today with eternity in mind, deepening our trust in His promises.

GOD'S PLAN
Revelation reminds us that history is not aimless—it’s moving toward a divine conclusion. At the center of this unfolding plan is Jesus Christ, who promises to return and make all things new. His second coming will bring justice, restore creation, and fulfill God's ultimate purpose for humanity.
As we live in anticipation of His return, may we hold fast to His promises, live with hope, and remain steadfast in our faith. Jesus is coming back, and with Him comes eternal peace, joy, and the fulfillment of all God’s plan.
