In this final episode of Foretold, we reflect on the grand narrative of salvation history, illuminated by the opening verses of the Gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word..." From the creation of the world to Christ’s redeeming sacrifice, every event has been guided by God’s Providence—His loving wisdom at work in history and in our lives.
Filmed in the magnificent St. John Lateran Basilica, the Pope’s Cathedral and the Mother Church of Christendom, this episode brings together the lessons of our journey through Scripture. We have seen the intricate connections between Old Testament figures and Christ, revealing that the entire biblical story is an ordered plan of salvation, culminating in the ultimate triumph of the Cross and Resurrection.
Yet, this story is not just about the past—it is about our present and future. God’s Providence is not a distant theological concept but an active, guiding reality. Even in the midst of suffering, uncertainty, and the chaos of the world, we are called to recognize His hand at work, weaving good from evil and inviting us to trust in His divine plan.
As we conclude this series, we invite you to see the world through the eyes of faith—to recognize that history is not random, that our struggles are not meaningless, and that Christ, the Word made flesh, is the Author of our story. In Him, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
