In a time of rising economic turmoil and global uncertainty, Professor Michael Onyedikachi Akpa has delivered a message of hope at Babcock University’s 51st inaugural lecture.
Addressing an audience at the institution, Akpa, a professor of New Testament in the Department of Religious Studies, explored the theme:
Decoding the Apocalypse of John: Making Sense of the Book of Revelation.
“The lecture, which focused on the biblical concept of victory over death, examined the grand cosmic struggle between good and evil as portrayed in the Book of Revelation.
Professor Akpa emphasized that despite the complexities of its symbolism and imagery, the core message remains simple: the Apocalypse is a revelation of Jesus Christ and His triumph over all forces of evil.
He stated, “the Book of Revelation is not meant to instill fear but to reassure believers of God’s sovereignty and the ultimate triumph of good over evil.
It is God’s final appeal to humanity, encouraging faithfulness while warning against destructive agendas.”
Akpa’s insights provided a scholarly perspective on eschatology, reinforcing the belief that those who endure trials for their faith will ultimately be rewarded with eternal life.
He noted that the Revelation narrative serves as a beacon of hope, reminding believers that suffering and persecution are temporary, while divine victory is assured.
The lecture, which drew academics, theologians, and students, highlighted the relevance of biblical teachings in navigating contemporary challenges. Professor Akpa’s exposition contributes significantly to theological discourse, offering a deeper understanding of the Book of Revelation’s message in today’s world.
