Summary/Abstract: This study eplores the influence of eschatological paradigms from the Book of Revelation on Christian family, education, highlighting the relevance of biblical symbolism for moral and spiritual formation in a contemporary context marked by secularization and the redefinition of family values. Building on the vision of divine restoration and the “new heaven and new earth” described in Revelation, the research examines the role of the family as an essential unit in transmitting faith, fidelity, and hope. Symbols such as the New Jerusalem and the Marriage of the Lamb are interpreted as theological and educational reference points that guide families in cultivating essential values for Christian life. The primary contribution of this work lies in emphasizing how the Christian family can become a microcosm of the Kingdom of God, a space for spiritual preparation for eternal communion. The study proposes future research directions, including the exploration of other biblical eschatological texts and the ways in which various Christian denominations apply these paradigms in contemporary religious education.
