Genesis & Revelation Compared

The revelation of Jesus Christ reveals Jesus Christ in future glory unveiled, uncovered, and made manifest.

What began in Genesis ends in Revelation.

In Genesis you have the commencement of heaven and earth; in Revelation the consummation of heaven and earth.

In Genesis you have the entrance of sin and the curse; in Revelation you have the end of sin and the curse.

In Genesis you have the dawn of Satan and his activities; in Revelation you have the doom of Satan and his activities.

In Genesis you have the tree of life relinquished; in Revelation the tree of life regained. In Genesis death enters; in Revelation death exits.

In Genesis sorrow begins; in Revelation sorrow is banished. In Genesis paradise is lost; in Revelation paradise is regained.

But most central, in Genesis the Savior is promised; in Revelation the Savior is preeminent.

And so, in Revelation we see the glory of what is to come as God brings all of redemptive history to its great climax.
