Discovering Victorious Eschatology through a study of Revelation
The Book of Revelation is one of the most misunderstood, debated, and often misapplied books in the Bible. For centuries, it has been interpreted as a prophetic roadmap to the future, fueling apocalyptic fears, religious speculation, and end-times obsession. However, in 2018, Shawn McCraney embarked on a groundbreaking verse-by-verse study of Revelation, which completely reshaped his understanding of biblical prophecy and ultimately led to the foundation of The Great News.
This course takes you through every verse of Revelation in its proper historical, literary, and theological context, demonstrating how its prophecies were fulfilled, rather than being predictions of a distant future. The study of Revelation unlocked the reality of a fulfilled eschatology, showing that the end of the age, the return of Christ, and the final judgment all took place in the first century, bringing an end to the Old Covenant and ushering in the eternal reign of Christ.
