Facing a new year, we quite naturally reflect on the year past and wonder about the year to come. Events in Israel, around the world, and in our individual lives cause us to wonder what challenges and difficulties will present themselves. The Apostle John wrote down his visions in the book of Revelation to share with the churches of Asia Minor (western Türkiye) whom he has loved and served as an elder. While his visions are fantastic, his message is clear: The risen Christ is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the Almighty. His victory is assured and the outcome for those who overcome will be a new creation, a restored and developed Eden where they will live in closest fellowship with Jesus forever.
