- The Tree of Life
Scripture tells its story through trees: the tree of life in Eden, from which Adam and Eve were barred after the fall; the tree on which Christ became a curse for his people, as Galatians 3 teaches; and the tree of life in the new Jerusalem, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. To the…
- New Jerusalem: Bride of the Lamb
Isaiah 65 promised new heavens, a new earth, and a Jerusalem created for rejoicing, and Revelation 21 shows the holy city coming down from God, prepared as a bride for her husband. The New Jerusalem is a place, a perfect cube like the Most Holy Place made immense, and it is also the people of God…
- I Saw a New Heaven and a New Earth
John saw a great white throne where the dead were judged, and then a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away and the sea was no more. God himself will dwell with his people, wipe away every tear, and make all things new, while those who refuse his redeeming love…
- The Woman and the Child
Isaiah promised a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and Revelation 12 shows a woman giving birth to a male child who will rule the nations with a rod of iron, while the great dragon waits to devour him. The child is caught up to God and his throne, and the dragon is cast down. Christ's first coming…
- The Beast from the Abyss
Daniel saw kingdoms rise as beasts, and in Revelation 13 John sees a beast rise from the sea with a mortal wound that seemed healed, and a second beast from the earth that deceives the world into worshiping the first. These beasts stand for the persecuting powers that oppose Christ and his people…
- The Testimony of Two Witnesses
John was given a measuring rod for the temple, and he saw two witnesses who prophesy in sackcloth through the age between Christ's ascension and his return, like Moses and Elijah. The beast from the abyss makes war on them and kills them, but after three and a half days God raises them up and…
- The Seven Seals—and an Eighth
When the Lamb opens the seven seals, four horsemen ride out bringing conquest, war, famine, and death on a fourth of the earth, and the martyrs cry out, "How long?" Revelation tells the same story of history several times over, with judgments that are real but limited, and between the sixth and…
- What Christ Thinks of the Churches
Psalm 50 shows what the Lord thinks of ancient Israel, and the letters to the seven churches show what Christ thinks of his churches. Again and again he says "I know," commending faithfulness, rebuking lost first love, false teaching, and complacency, and calling them to repent. To everyone who…
- Tribulation—Kingdom—Perseverance
Jeremiah could not hold back the word that burned like fire in his bones, though it brought him reproach, and John on Patmos shared with the churches in the tribulation, the kingdom, and the patient endurance that are in Jesus. He saw one like a son of man among the lampstands, the first and the…
- A Greeting from Glory
At Sinai God told Israel they would be a kingdom of priests, and Revelation opens with the same calling fulfilled in Christ, who loves his people and has freed them from their sins by his blood. He is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, the ruler of the kings of the earth, and the…
- The Lamb Upon His Throne
John sees a door open in heaven and the throne of God, surrounded by living creatures and elders who worship the sovereign Creator. In chapter 5 no one is found worthy to open the sealed scroll until the Lion of the tribe of Judah appears as a Lamb that was slain, and all heaven sings that he is…
