CHRIST the BEGINNING and the END: “I am…the Beginning and the End” (Rev 1:8; 21:6; 22:13). In Gen 1:1, the heavens and the earth were created; in Rev 21:1, they pass away, to be replaced. In Gen 1:5, the bounds of night are established; in Rev 22:5, we see there will be no night there. In Gen 1:10, the bounds of the sea are set; in Rev 21:1, there will be no more sea (of separation). In Gen 1:16, the sun is placed in the heavens; in Rev 21:23, there is no further need for the sun. In Gen 2:8, a garden is prepared as humanity’s home; in Rev 21:10, the heavenly city is prepared as a home for the redeemed (see also Jn 14:2). In Gen 2:18-23, we have the marriage of the First Adam; in Rev 19:9, we see the marriage of the Last Adam (see also 1 Cor 15:45). In Gen 3:1, Satan appears; in Rev 20:10, Satan is cast out. In Gen 3:16-17, human sorrow appears; in Rev 21:4, there will be no more sorrow. In Gen 3:17, the curse appears; in Rev 22:3, there is no more curse!
