Apocalypse Unveiled - Part 5: When Empire Rides

Revelation keeps flipping our expectations: the one who holds history isn’t a Caesar but a slain Lamb, showing that cruciform love is the power that saves. In Revelation 6, the Lamb opens the seals and the four horsemen appear, not as God’s rage but as a revealing of what empire always produces: conquest, violence, exploitation and death. Then Revelation 7 pauses the chaos to show God sealing his people, as John hears 144,000 but sees a countless multitude from every nation, answering “Who can stand?” Those marked by the Lamb, formed by his self-giving way, trusting the Shepherd who will one day wipe every tear.Download the Discussion Guide
