Looking at the relationship between Genesis 1-2 and Revelation 21, this article shows how both these scripture passages highlight the presence of God as the center of everything. This perspective allows us to view God as the Creator of our hope. This is the second in a series of articles on the topic of eschatology. 

This article focuses on the old earth or new earth debate. The author refutes the idea that Genesis 1-2 is either history or poetry, stating that reading Genesis this way does injustice to the text. The creation story does not have to be either history or poetry; it can be both.
