Week 19, Day 95 -- Only the Beginning: Revelation 21:1 -- 22:21
If there are parts of today’s reading that are hard to follow don’t worry. This is the Book of Revelation, which is the record of a vision. It’s message is presented mainly in images rather than straight forward language, so it can be hard to follow at times. That’s why it’s best to focus on the main, big-picture points rather than getting caught up in every little detail about images and symbolism.
The main point in these last two chapters of Revelation (and the Bible) is that God intends to establish “a new heaven and a new earth” (21:1). Satan will be defeated (20:7-10), the curse of sin will be broken (22:3), and God will be present with us forever (“God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them” 21:3, NLT). For those who belong to Jesus, the End of the World is only the beginning of Eternal Life with Jesus (see Romans 6:23).
