Session 3: The Battle, the Beast, and the Bride
The end of the story is not fear—it’s victory.
In this final session, we step into the heart of Revelation’s most dramatic imagery: beasts, battles, judgments, and the fall of Babylon. But behind the symbols and intensity lies a powerful truth—evil has an expiration date, and Jesus wins.
Rather than getting stuck in every detail, we focus on the big picture: God’s justice, Satan’s defeat, and the hope of a restored world. Revelation pulls back the curtain on the spiritual war behind the headlines and invites us to live with confident trust in God’s plan.
Though the battle is real, the outcome is certain. Jesus isn’t just returning—He’s restoring everything. And in the end, the Bride (the Church) is united with the Lamb in glory forever.
