The book of Revelation is about the story of everything, and this is why we say Revelation is cosmic. Its scope is, well, everything. Life—past, present, future—is not a product of random chaos, nor is it the result of fate or blind luck. No, in the story of everything, the world is God’s world, time is in God’s hands, history has a beginning, and God guides history toward its divine intention: the new Jerusalem or the kingdom of God.
