SEALED FOR LIFE-HOPE IN THE SHADOW OF THE BEAST What does Revelation 13 mean for believers living in an uncertain world? Dr. Julius Kithinji explored this question at the ECLAS Africa Conference 2026 through his paper, “Sealed for Life: Re-reading Revelation 13; Anticipatory Hope Against the Beast Mark.” Rather than reading the chapter only through the lens of fear surrounding the Beast and its mark, Dr. Kithinji draws attention to the call for endurance and faithfulness. Revelation 13 ends with a challenge to perseverance, reminding believers that prophetic warning is not meant to produce fear alone, but to inspire steadfast faith and hope. His presentation offered a fresh theological reading of the chapter, placing anticipatory hope at the centre of the conversation.
