Biblios Hokku - Revelation

The final chapter, in more ways than one.  I don’t imagine any book of the Bible is more talked about, or discussed than Revelation.

Revelation, also called Apocalypse in some older texts, is the story of the end of times. 

There are probably more interpretations of the book than there are verses in it.  Many people claim to understand it, and to be able to interpret the day-by-day calendar of the end of the world.

For me, the images of “end-times” and “raptures” and “tribulations” are no where near as exciting as the images of “A New Jerusalem” and “The Lamb on the Throne” and God “wiping away all tears”

 

REVELATION
Apocalypse now!
Through strife and judgment,
we win in the end!

 

Need I say more?

I think not.

AMEN!

  3. I'm with you. I'm so much more encouraged by the wonderful promises in Revelation than the dire predictions.
