Last Things Last - We Will See His Face

Last Things Last:  We Will See His Face

There are times when the world feels a little thin, as though creation itself were sighing for something better. Scripture names that ache for us. It’s hope, humming beneath everything, reminding us that we were made for a world we have not yet seen.

In this talk we step into the final movement of Last Things Last, and it isn’t a vision of escape or fear. It is a vision of arrival. Revelation 21–22 opens like a window in a stuffy room: “Behold, I am making everything new.” The Lamb who conquered is revealed as the Lamb who restores. Heaven descends, earth is renewed and God dwells with His people again.

John’s closing vision isn’t a map of the end; it's a promise of a new beginning. A world without decay. A future without fear. A God who bends low to wipe away every tear. It comes to us as both prophetic unveiling and tender invitation: come, drink, belong.

As we gather, we follow that vision to its centre. The city bright with God’s glory, the river that heals the nations, and the breath-taking promise that one day we will see His face.

We linger there for a moment, because this is the heartbeat of Christian hope. Not just the end of pain but the beginning of unhindered presence. The God who Moses could not look upon, who prophets glimpsed only in flashes, will one day lift His gaze toward His people, toward you, without distance, distortion, or fear. Every longing that never quite settled, every moment of worship that felt too small, every prayer that brushed the hem of His nearness… all of it was pointing toward this: the day when the veil finally lifts and we see Him face to face.

And so Revelation finishes with hope stirred, faith strengthened, and Jesus finally and fully revealed for us.
