Professor Akpa, a professor of New Testament at the University's Religious Studies Department, emphasizes that despite the technicalities of symbolism, imagery, and structural patterns in the apocalypse, the core message is simple and straightforward: "The apocalypse is a revelation of Jesus Christ and His triumph over all evil forces in the cosmic conflict."
The lecture highlights the biblical narrative of the ultimate victory of good over evil, as depicted in the Book of Revelation. This victory is seen as a testament to God's sovereignty and the ultimate triumph of life over death.
Professor Akpa's work provides insights into the biblical concept of the end times and the ultimate victory of good over evil, contributing significantly to the understanding of the Book of Revelation and its relevance to contemporary society.
In his lecture, Professor Akpa notes that the Apocalypse of John is "God's final appeal to the world; to encourage His saints to be faithful to the end and warn those who destroy the Earth through various anti-God agendas." The lecture offers a message of hope and encouragement, reminding listeners that those who suffer persecution for their faith will someday be rewarded with eternal life in God's kingdom.
