The Book of Revelation is meant to humble us
by a vision of the absolute sovereignty of God over history:
past, present, future.
There is nothing outside of God’s control.
Every power, every evil-power is subject to His rule.
‘There is not a single inch of the whole terrain
of our human existence,’ wrote Abraham Kuyper,
‘over which Christ does not proclaim, ‘Mine!’’
This is the perspective of the last book of the Bible.
