Pastor Brian Hart opens a fall sermon series on Revelation by establishing the book as an apocalypse, a witness, a prophecy, and a letter written to real first-century churches. He argues that Revelation's dense Old Testament symbolism is meant to pull back the curtain on spiritual realities rather than predict modern events, showing that Christ and his church are victorious even when circumstances suggest otherwise. The message calls listeners to approach the book with awe, attentiveness, and a longing for the return of King Jesus.
