The final book of the Bible is not a coded newspaper foretelling of future geopolitical events. Rather, it is a glorious depiction of the triumph of Jesus Christ. Revelation is not about the twenty-first century, but nothing could be more relevant for the twenty-first century than the vision John saw! With consummate skill the Revelator shows us how Jesus’s lamb-like kingdom is the saving alternative to the beast-like empires of the world.
