Kingdom Consummated

Welcome to Kingdom Consummated, a new course in our Online Bible Institute designed to help you explore the beautiful conclusion of the biblical story. In this course we will draw from the final chapters of Revelation and look at several key themes that shape our understanding of God’s ultimate purpose for His creation. These themes include New Creation, life after life after death, and the nature of Biblical Hope.

Rather than moving through these topics in a strict sequence, this course invites you to consider them from different angles as they appear throughout Scripture. Together they form a rich and compelling picture of the future God has promised and the present life He calls us to live.

You will encounter the biblical vision of New Creation, where heaven and earth come together and God dwells with His people. This vision challenges shallow ideas about the end of the story and helps us see the depth of what God intends to restore.

You will also reflect on the hope of resurrection life, often described as life after life after death. This is not a future of drifting in the clouds but a future of renewed bodies in a renewed world, filled with God’s presence and purpose.

Throughout the course we will consider the meaning of Biblical Hope. Hope is not wishful thinking. It is the confident expectation that God will do what He has promised. When our hearts are shaped by this hope, we begin to live differently. Our choices, priorities, and attitudes are transformed as we remember that God is making all things new.

As you work through each lesson, you will read Scripture, engage with teaching material, and reflect on how these truths impact your life and ministry. This course is not only about understanding the end of the story. It is about learning to live as people who know where the story is going.
