Have you ever wondered, “Is God really sovereign? And can I really trust Him?” If so, you’re in good company. During the first century, Jewish Christians were persecuted, afraid, and discouraged. Some abandoned the faith and returned to their former lifestyles. Others were sorely tempted to do so. Could God, through their faith, redeem their pain and give it meaning? Could this painful path actually help them to encourage others in their faith or to help draw unbelievers to the heart of God (2 Corinthians 2:15-17)?  

The book of Revelation is an enigmatic book of the Bible for many people. It is filled with end-time prophecy cloaked in symbolism and allusions.  Many Christians find it hard to understand and avoid studying it altogether. It’s beauty, supreme importance, and distinctive relevance is sadly missed by many.  Come journey with Dr. Betters as he builds the context of this amazing book from the prophecies of the Old Testament along with the major themes of the Bible to unveil the mysteries and reveal the culmination of God’s redemptive plan.  You just may be tempted to think of Revelation as a book of new beginnings as much as one of end times.
