Window 5 :: Revelation

Windows 5 and 6 are best understood together. These two windows illustrate the character and nature of God. Windows 1-4 are illustrating the reasons and plan of salvation, but before that plan is worked out, Windows 5 and 6 show us his nature.

Window 5 depicts the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. As a whole, the window represents the Justice of God. No wrongdoing will go unpunished. The ancient Jews saw the judgement as a wonderful thing; all of the injustice of our world would end, and Justice would reign.
