Presented by: Pastor Jeff Thompson, New Hope Church
All around the world, there is a growing sense that things are unraveling.
It is hard not to feel like we're approaching some type of historical tipping point.
But what if everything that's happening around us isn't heralding the coming of our darkest hour, but rather our greatest?
What if God has a plan that is running perfectly on schedule and ends with us arriving in His presence for eternity?
And, what if God not only predicted in the Bible what is happening right now, but also what will happen next?
Those 3 questions and much more are all answered in the Bible's most fascinating, provocative, and compelling book - Revelation!
Even if you have done other Revelation studies, this one will surely enhance your understanding.
God wants us to understand Revelation to its fullest and in fact, it is the only book in the Bible that comes with its own blessing!
After all, our future depends on it, and for Christians around the world, our eternal future is looking very bright!!
