Most folks method this final booklet of the Bible with forebodings instead of desire. To us John’s imaginative and prescient turns out extra like a nightmare.
But the aged apostle starts off with a press release that doesn’t appear to healthy the remainder of the ebook: “The revelation of Jesus Christ.” it seems that he intends to unveil anything enormously vital approximately Jesus. whatever life-changing. anything we can’t manage to pay for to miss.
Larry Lichtenwalter explores an aspect of Revelation seldom portrayed: Christ’s passionate love for humanity. This habitual topic subtly seems within the imagery and symbolism all through John’s imaginative and prescient. The slain Lamb. The divine protecting sealing. The blood-bleached-white gowns. The heart-wrenching prayer of the saints. with out Christ’s love, those scenes and emblems may suggest nothing.
Ultimately John’s imaginative and prescient finds the intense love of our Savior for His rebellious, unfit children—and the remarkable purposes we will love Him in return.
