Prophecy throughout Scripture demonstrates God’s sovereignty, points to Christ’s fulfilled and future work, calls His people to repentance and holiness, and offers hope in His ultimate restoration plan; with roughly 68% of all biblical prophecies already fulfilled, believers can trust God’s promises. John, through the Holy Spirit, references these cyclical and intensifying prophetic patterns, seen across books like Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Joel when talking about the seals, trumpets, and bowls. These references remind Christians to live with vigilance, confidence, and endurance as God’s redemptive plan moves toward completion in Christ.
