In addition, eschatological views, which are often reduced to total destruction and spiritual flight, also result in ethical passivity. However, Revelation 21:3-4 presents a different perspective: the end times are not a threat, but the fulfillment of God's promise that brings hope. The aim of the research is to present an exegetical-systematic synthesis that shifts the wait for the end times from passive to transformative action. The methods used are exegesis of Revelation 21:3-4 and a systematic theological analysis of the implications of Jurgen Moltmann's Theology of Hope. The results show that God's presence among humans is the center of joy, guaranteeing the restoration of relationships, creation, and the fulfillment of covenants. This eschatological joy becomes a dynamic force that calls the church to be actively involved in solidarity, justice, and the preservation of creation. Revelation 21:3-4 can serve as a theological basis for the church to affirm the teaching that the end times are not something to be feared about, but a source of eternal hope and joy for those who believe in Jesus Christ.
