Revelation

Revelation takes its name from the opening word of the book, apokalypsis (ἀποκάλυψις), meaning “revelation” or “unveiling.” Written by John to seven churches in Asia Minor, the book uses vivid visions and symbolic imagery to reveal the spiritual reality behind earthly events and to encourage believers facing pressure, compromise, and suffering. Revelation presents Jesus as the risen and reigning Lamb who will ultimately defeat evil, judge with justice, and make all things new. It calls God’s people to remain faithful, worship Him alone, and live with hope in the certainty of Christ’s final victory.

The Song of Moses and the Lamb

(Deuteronomy 32:1–47)


1 Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven final plagues, with which the wrath of God is completed.


2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, beside which stood those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name. They were holding harps from God,


3 and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!


4 Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”



Preparation for Judgment


5 After this I looked, and the temple — the tabernacle of the Testimony — was opened in heaven.


6 And out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in clean and bright linen and girded with golden sashes around their chests.


7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.


8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
