| Summary: | Creation occupies a strategic position in Revelation. Through an inclusion, the author presents God as the origin of all things (4:11), whose goal is to bring creatures into the newness of his final intervention (21:5). The recipients of this plan are the Gentiles, called to recognize the Creator who is knowable in his creation. They are reached through the prophetic ministry (10:11) and the announcement of the angelic message (14:7). In this divine project Christ is involved and, by his redemptive work, he enables the entrance of all the peoples into the new Jerusalem. The final result of this task is positive, as it appears in the proleptic chant of universal salvation (15:3-4) and in the futuristic description of peoples and their kings, located in the heavenly city (21:24, 26). |
