True Prosperity When You're SufferingSampel

Revelation: Suffering is Finished

Listen to our friend Johnny tell us how suffering will end.

The letter we now call Revelation originally circulated among the churches to encourage them and to help them stay faithful through the suffering they were facing. Revelation is also a letter to followers of Jesus at the end of time. All of his followers—the original audience and those to come—could take hope in knowing that Jesus is always with his people and that he will return to vindicate his suffering and martyred children and establish fully the kingdom of God. He will destroy the true enemy, Satan, in the battle of Armageddon. Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire, where he will be tormented forever.

This set of Bible readings culminates in the victory found in God through faith in Jesus. This letter gives us a glimpse of the realization of the kingdom of God: there is no more suffering in God’s presence. God’s kingdom, where he reigns and rules forever, will be fully realized then.

In this final reading, we look forward to Jesus’s return, when all the promises of God’s kingdom come to fulfillment. God will live among his people. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain” (Rev 21:4 NLT). Suffering will be finished, and we will fully experience true prosperity.
