The Greek word for “revelation” is apokalypsis. It literally means “A lifting of the veil.” Dr. Micah D. Kiel argues that John, the stated author of the book of Revelation, does not prescribe the destruction of the earth, but rather envisions an ecological alternative where God is sovereign, the Earth matters and has a voice, and Revelation offers a glimpse at wild and uncultivated places as the future that God will create. In this first of a three-part series, Pastor Matt introduces the book of Revelation and invites us to consider how our lives might express our love and allegiance to God amid a world which calls for obedience to the beast of empire.
