We finally round out the drama of the seven seals, trumpets and bowls. Now we can see how the seventh of each thing brings us to the same place in time! Here's a very short episode to bring it all together.
The sixth bowl is open and the world is gathered into a place called Armageddon. What do these things mean? Well, here's my take on this topic!
We begin to explore the bowl judgements, with some questions worth considering such as: - What do these bowls represent and how might John and the early church understand them? - Are these literal? - When do they occur? - And, where is the church in this time, and if present, what are we to do in this time?
This is a short chapter setting the scene for the 'Bowl' judgements which are still to come. In this episode we simply explore the various elements as they are presented to us. There is a presentation of God being ready to wield a judgement which seems pretty final, and there is the church remaining in a posture of worship as the all plays out.
A short piece to complete my journey through Revelation 14, with the heavy theme of judgement rounding the chapter out. We can bring many Old Testament passages as well as a few of Jesus’ parables into this chapter as a means of understanding things more. Things are starting to get really heavy - the ‘bowl judgements’ are coming up next!
Three angels make an appearance in Revelation 14, and for the first time the name 'Babylon' is mentioned. There is of course a region in the mind of John as he writes, but it calls us to consider how it applies as a systemic reality for us as well...
As we come into Revelation 14, we are presented with a vision of the Lamb of God accompanied again by the 144000. This time they are presented to us in contrast with those who have been marked by the beast. It appears that the saints have a mark of their own, which builds on my thesis that 'all of humanity is marked in this life, one way or the other.' As always, your comments are always welcome…
Ok! This is going to (hopefully) provoke some discussion. I've offered my take on the idea of the 'mark of the beast.' I believe this will comfort many believers and even offer hope to those outside our faith. It might anger some folks as well. I used to be that way too! Wherever you land on this, let's chat openly, and respectfully in the comments where you can - remember that the world is…
A second beast appears on the scene to accompany the Beast from the Sea and the Dragon (who is of course Satan). Together, they form a frightening unholy trinity. The two beasts are a human presence of some sort, and this is my take on what these might be...
With the signs of the 'Dragon' and the 'Woman' now in play, we begin to explore other figures that will wage war with the church. The Beast from the Sea has been pointed to as simply the end time Antichrist by many in the modern church, but this comes at the expense of a pretty important question: Who was the beast for the church of John's day? What did it mean to them. Surely it needs to refer to…
