The beginning of the end

Today, we start a journey through the final book of the Bible—the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The word “revelation" comes from the Greek word apokalypsis. We get the words “apocalypse” and “apocalyptic” from it. We see this term used in movie titles to suggest widespread destruction or disaster. However, in Scripture, apokalypsis means to “uncover or unveil something hidden,” to supernaturally reveal what we cannot discover on our own. God wants us to understand how it all started, how sin caused a broken world, how this world will end, and what eternity will be like.
