The future is not uncertain in the eyes of God — it unfolds according to His perfect plan. The pages of Revelation remind us that history is not drifting toward chaos, but marching toward completion under the sovereign hand of Christ. Though many shy away from its imagery and prophecies, Revelation was never meant to terrify the believer, but to strengthen faith and awaken hope. It is the unveiling of Jesus in His glory — the Lamb who was slain, now returning as the King who reigns.

Pastor Bruce David Bell explains that we are living in the “church age,” a time marked by grace and invitation, where the gospel is still being proclaimed to every heart willing to hear. Yet this age will not last forever. The next great moment on God’s divine timeline — the rapture — will gather believers into His presence, ushering in a season of unparalleled tribulation on earth. Even then, God’s mercy will continue to call the lost to repentance, offering redemption in the midst of judgment. His patience, power, and purpose remain unshaken.

This truth is not given to stir fear but to ignite faith. As the world grows darker, the light of Christ shines ever brighter for those who belong to Him. We are called to live alert, anchored in the promise that our future is secure in His hands. The end is not a tragedy for the redeemed — it is the fulfillment of everything God has promised.

If Christ were to return today, would He find you ready — watching, waiting, and walking in His truth?
