Weeks 55–60
🌿 Category Description
The story of Scripture points forward — always forward — toward the ultimate redemption God has promised. This final category explores the sweeping hope woven through the Torah, Prophets, and Writings: resurrection, restoration, judgment, renewal, and the reign of Messiah.
Here we study the promises that anchor the people of God in every generation: the defeat of evil, the return of Yeshua, the restoration of Israel, the gathering of the nations, and the creation of a world made new.
This is the culmination of the biblical story — the hope that shapes our endurance, purifies our lives, and fills us with longing for the day when God will dwell with His people forever.
