Bookends: Revelation
JUNE 25, 2022
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John.
Revelation 1:1
Recommended Reading: Revelation 22:17-21
Genesis opens the Bible and the Old Testament; Revelation closes the New Testament and the entire Bible. Genesis begins with the creation of a sacred space where God and man would fellowship together. Revelation concludes with the reestablishing of a sacred space for the same purpose on a new earth—the New Jerusalem.
The final chapter of any book is supposed to conclude the story. Revelation does that by concluding the earthly story of God and man. But some books do more than conclude one story; they also provide a glimpse of yet another story that remains to be told. Revelation also does that. It paints a picture in the final two chapters of an eternal story that will be bigger than any volume could contain: the story of God and man living together for eternity in the New Jerusalem. Jesus’ final words conclude one story and hint at a second: “Surely I am coming quickly” (Revelation 22:20).
Make sure, through faith in Christ, that you will be part of God’s eternal story.
Christianity is not engrossed by this transitory world, but measures all things by the thought of eternity.
