Apply to Revelation in its historical context:

- God is sovereign. — Yes. Revelation repeatedly depicts God (and the Lamb) as ruling over history (e.g., “Alpha and Omega,” throne scenes).
- Hope is in Jesus Christ. — Yes. The book centers on Christ as the risen Lord, shepherd and ruler who brings comfort and vindication to believers.
- God will defeat Satan and bring evil to an end. — Yes. Revelation portrays the final judgment of the dragon, beast, and false prophet and the establishment of the new creation.
- The exact date of the return of Jesus Christ. — No. Revelation promises Christ’s coming but does not provide a specific date (it stresses readiness and imminent hope, not a calendar date).
- God has a plan and is bringing it to completion. — Yes. The series of visions presents a purposeful, unfolding divine plan culminating in new heavens and a new earth.
