The Fall in Genesis 3 disrupts this harmony through disobedience, introducing sin and separation that echoes through history. Redemption unfolds progressively, culminating in Christ&#8217;s incarnation, death, and resurrection as detailed in the Gospels. Restoration promises a renewed creation in Revelation 21-22, where God dwells fully with His people once more.<\/p>\n<p>References<\/p>\n<p>Bauckham, R., 2018. The theology of the Book of Revelation.
