The apocalypse of God has been taking place throughout human history and is recorded in the Biblical record. The centerpiece of this revelation is Jesus Christ and His relationships with Israel, the Church, and the inhabitants of the earth.
The culmination of this unveiling is recorded in the book of Revelation. It is orderly and timely in keeping with the character of God. The main aim of the apocalypse is restoration. God's creation and His reputation are slated for renewal.
This renovation begins with the family of God. In Revelation 1-3, Jesus Christ is in view as He evaluates the Church, approving and reproving in accordance with His vision and empowerment for His Body.
The revival continues with the inhabitants of the earth. In Revelation 4-6, the Lamb of God is in view as He authorizes the removal of restraint on the corruption of mankind. This unparalleled separation from God releases global conquest, conflict, famine, disease and death. An unprecedented ingathering of souls ensues.
