About this listen

Life in this world is unstable. Circumstances shift, expectations collapse, and evil intrudes. Revelation names this reality honestly, including the sobering truth that tribulation is part of the Christian calling. John identifies it as central to our partnership in Christ (Rev 1:9).

But into this unsettled world, Revelation declares a daring truth: Christ reigns.

So, these troubles are not signs of His absence, but they are realities taken up into His sovereign purposes. John is invited to "come up here" (Rev 4:1) and see history from heaven's perspective. From this vantage point, tribulation is reinterpreted - it is not meaningless or wasted, but transfigured. It prepares God's people for glory, and prepares God's world for redemption.
