2025 Episode 49, Revelation 1-5

In this week's episode, Tony kicks off our study of The Revelation of Jesus Christ and highlights why that title is so important.

He highlights the rich symbolism found throughout the book and reminds us that John was writing to a real audience in a real moment in history. To understand Revelation correctly, we must first understand what John was communicating to them before we apply it to our lives today.

Tony also explains that the book’s purpose is to reveal God’s perspective on history and current events, as well as His unfolding plan to bring about His ultimate Kingdom on earth.

We’re then taken into the throne room of God—a breathtaking scene of worship directed toward the One on the throne and toward the Lamb who was slain, the Lion who will reign forever.

We pray this episode is encouraging, helpful, and a meaningful guide as you dig into this week’s readings.

As a companion resource, we’ve included the Bible Project’s overview video of Revelation 1–11..
