In episode 8 of our Revelation series, Katie Haldane goes solo to pull the threads together.

If you’ve felt anxious about the rapture, the tribulation or “getting the order right,” this episode is for you. Katie explains why trusting a timeline reverses what Revelation is for. Over and over, Jesus says “I know” to the churches, and the angels keep taking us back to the throne room. Her message: don’t freak out, because he is in charge.

In this episode:
Why the Pentecostal teaching on the rapture is held as opinion, not dogma, and why we’re not putting anyone down
The risk of “escapist theology” and what it does to endurance and how we care for the earth
Why Revelation says “I know” and “I see,” and what that means for the churches then and now
Why you can’t count seven years to the second coming when Scripture says he comes like a thief in the night
Three things to hold onto: Christ’s return, the assessment of our works (not our salvation), and the eternal state
The new heaven and new earth as a restored creation, with Father God returning too
Why creation is groaning, and what Tom Wright’s Surprise by Hope added to Katie’s view
Wait, witness and worship: what to do while you wait

Mentioned: Surprise by Hope by Tom Wright
