This message is the first in a new series in Revelation, pulling back the curtain on the unseen reality of God’s reign. It reminds us that Revelation is not a code for predicting the end times but a prophetic, political, and pastoral message of hope, showing God as the Alpha and Omega—the One who was, is, and is to come. Through vivid imagery of God’s throne, blazing lamps, and worship that unites heaven and earth, the message calls us to fix our eyes on Christ, trust His eternal rule over every “first” and “last” of life, and join in the worship of the One who sits on the throne.
