About this video

Runtime: 10 mins

Richard Bauckham provides an introduction to the book of Revelation. He addresses John's vision that God's will in heaven can be manifest on earth. The key question, he asks, is how God's kingdom comes to earth, beginning with the triumph of the slaughtered lamb, Jesus, over evil. He speaks of the followers of Jesus emulating his suffering through faithful witness, even to martyrdom, to bring about God's kingdom. The letters to the seven churches highlight various challenges, urging each church to overcome its issues through faith and perseverance. Ultimately, Revelation contrasts divine judgment with salvation, ultimately offering a hopeful vision where all nations come to worship God.
