New Testament Survey Class Eight:

Eighth Class: Overview of the Book of Revelation will be considered. (The book of Revelation is a demonstration of how our faith is the victory over the world, and how that Satan will loose—has already lost—and Christ is victoriously reigning and ruling from heaven now! The “conclusion of all things” will be considered in this book, but moreover our victory in Christ, how that it is secure [cf., Romans 8:31ff; Revelation 2:10 et al.])
