Episode Synopsis
Key Truth:
Revelation 21:3–7 gives us a breathtaking glimpse of God’s ultimate promise: His dwelling place will be with His people forever. Christmas celebrates the beginning of that reality—when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, God came near as Emmanuel. What Revelation looks forward to in fullness began in a manger where heaven touched earth. The birth of Christ signals the start of God’s plan to wipe away every tear, defeat death, and make all things new. The Alpha and Omega stepped into time as a newborn child, assuring us that history is in His hands from beginning to end. Christmas is not only about the past—it points us forward to the day when God’s presence, peace, and glory will fill all creation.
