Offenbarung

The goal in sight! (14 Lessons)

Example Lesson1:

Purpose of Revelation:

• To exercise patience
• To persevere
• To keep faith
• To overcome in challenge, temptation, and uncertainty

Learning to live with biblically based hope. From hope, faithfully stand in missional outreach. Setting signs of love, joy, and justice. Practicing the correct lifestyle with determination.

Perspectives of Interpretation:

• Church-historical and world-historical
• Contemporary historical (into a situation of the past)
• Final historical (revealing time before Jesus' return)
• Reign Historical (Gradual Maturing of the Kingdom of God)
  - Old Testament Prophecy
  - Jesus' Church Among Nations
  - Time of Completion & New World of God

Whoever waits for the Savior waits not for the day after tomorrow, but for tomorrow. Not for a later date, but for an imminent one.

This is the secret of a Christian who expects and hopes for Jesus. Clear expectation of the Lord! Not far off, and hazy! Example: planting Luther's little apple tree. Not wasting time on speculation, but being faithful stewards!!!

Apocalypse: making known a previously hidden secret. Making visible, hitherto veiled reality
