The Revelation

John stands at the threshold of a radiant heavenly vision, staff in hand, looking through parted clouds toward a shining city and a river flowing through lush, restored creation. The scene evokes the closing vision of Revelation, where the apostle is shown the holy city, the renewed heavens and earth, and the river of the water of life proceeding from the throne of God. Birds, gardens, and brilliant light frame the promise of creation healed under the reign of Christ. This artwork presents the hope of Revelation not as escape, but as fulfillment: God dwelling with His people, death removed, and life flowing from His presence.
