The book of Revelation is like a vast tapestry--rich with scenes that together create a powerful vision meant to awe and inspire. This three-session class will explore how this tapestry proclaims the risen Christ’s message to His church on earth. As we delve into the book, we’ll see how the Lord reveals truths meant to help his people remain faithful. To grasp the full impact of Christ’s message, we’ll focus on three key aspects of the book:

Session 1: The letters to the seven churches and the vision of the Lord and His kingdom from “behind the veil” (Chapters 1–11).

Session 2: The rise of three beasts and their doomed efforts to oppose God’s plan, judged by God Almighty (Chapters 12–18).

Session 3: The glorious fulfillment of God’s kingdom in a renewed heaven and earth (Chapters 19–22).

Rather than analyzing every detail, we’ll concentrate on the essential message that strengthens the church. By learning to see and hear God’s unfolding plan, our faith can be renewed with hope, patience, and a longing for Christ’s return.
