In this study, the sovereign nature of God is seen through the visionary images of the authors of Isaiah, Hebrews, and Revelation. The quarter begins with a study of Isaiah’s rich images of God as the one who rules the whole universe. In the Letter to Hebrews, we see how God comes to lead humankind in the person of Jesus. The Revelation of John offers the vision of God as the beginning and end of all things.
Unit I, “Sovereignty of God,” has four lessons exploring how the prophet Isaiah views the reign of God over the whole world as a peaceful kingdom, a mountain of God, the foundations of the earth, and in a new and everlasting covenant.
Unit II, “Sovereignty of Jesus,” is a five-lesson unit studying the images of the reign of the resurrected Christ from the Letter to the Hebrews. In these lessons, Jesus is described as the imprint of God, the owner of a household, the great high priest, a priest forever, and the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.
Unit III, “Alpha and Omega,” develops four lessons based on the last two chapters of the Book of Revelation. John, in these lessons uses metaphors of one who makes all things new, a vision of a New Jerusalem, a river of life, and the beginning and the end of all things to explore how God reigns.
