Revelation 1:4-18- Greeting to the Seven Churches
and Vision of the Son of Man
The God of time- all time-
before time and into infinity.
How do I even begin to understand
the concept of what he wants the whole world to know-
when I live my life as if I have all the time in the world?
The Revelation of Jesus to John and the Seven churches
has taken on new meaning since our return
from our Footsteps of Paul tour this past March.
We visited Ephesus, Smyrna, Sardis.
(blog posts to come)
The ancient Greek word translated Revelation
is apokalupsia- apocalypse.
The word simple means- a revealing, an unveiling.
The book of Revelation is the
Revelation of Jesus Christ in the context
that it ALL belongs to Him.
Jesus is the one doing the revealing.
Jesus is also the one being revealed.
The whole book pivots on Jesus as the center.
I have always loved this phrase-
"I am the Alpha and the Omega,
who is and who was and who is to come,
the Almighty."
Whenever I am fretting about time-
and I often think it's about time-
this sentence allows me to take a deep breath.
Somehow when I rest in this
framework of time- all is well.
