 Revelation is about the New Testament's central conflict, the Lordship of Christ versus the Lordship of Caesar. In nine visions, John describes a God whose power is that of a lamb who is worthy to redeem the universe. Love unleashes the forces that conquer evil. When human history ends, God's dream is fulfilled. A sacred city descends from heaven with a crystalline river flowing through its center, watering the world with harmony and wholeness, where people from every tribe and nation will live forever in goodness. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
