Spring (Apr 24-Jun 5) The Ending: The Last Two Chapters of the Last Chapter

I had a little fun with the play on words. Jesus’ life, death and resurrection inaugurates the last chapter or the eschatological Kingdom of God. He begins the last chapter. The last chapter encompasses the whole New Testament. We will spend the Spring looking at the last two chapters of Revelation. We are going to discover that the last two chapters give us the clearest description of what it looks like when Jesus has made everything new. No more death, mourning, crying or pain is the completion of the new creation. Heaven and earth come together like one great temple, or one great Holy of Holies. The last two chapters are full of imagery from the past, including allusions to the Garden of Eden. We will specifically be looking at the last two chapters to discover what Jesus has to tell us about the new Jerusalem, the new covenant, the new (and diverse) people of God, and finally the all-encompassing new creation.
