Month: October 2020

John the apostle of Jesus receives a vision of and a message from Jesus himself, now ascended to heaven and glorified. The message is for Jesus’ persecuted people gathered in churches in Asia Minor then and for believers everywhere now. John, the human author, sets a great example for his readers. His experience of tribulation has landed him in prison on the island of Patmos, but he is in the Spirit presenting a vision from another world to inspire new heart, fresh hope and patient endurance.

The word ‘apocalypse’ simply means to reveal or unveil something previously hidden. Ironically, the book of the apocalypse (Revelation) seems far from clear revelation to many and is surrounded by controversy. However, if understood in light of the Old Testament background, the book of Revelation gloriously reveals the triumph of the lamb that was slain.

How are we to make sense of our world? The Bible is very clear, there is another world, an eternal world, while the one we live in is passing away. Yet, this present world is where we live, often in the midst of profound struggles with the effects of evil. Apocalyptic literature provides a view of this world from the vantage point of the other, heavenly world. It reveals the true nature of the conflict that surrounds us. Daniel 7 is a classic apocalyptic passage, revealing the fate of four terrifying beasts, and the judgment of the Ancient of Days in favour of the divine Son of Man which restores humanity to its proper place in his creation.

The conflict over Jerusalem is not just a fight over some real estate in the Middle East, it is a conflict regarding the means of a renewed creation, The two main problems that beset Jerusalem; external opposition and internal corruption, will be dealt with by the final coming of Yhwh. But, in the midst of this conflict some will turn from their warfare to worship as they see the means by which Yhwh will save his people.

In Zechariah 12 the nations are at war with God’s people and God himself declares that he will destroy everyone that comes against Jerusalem. Yet as the prophecy draws to a close we find survivors from the nations being drawn to Jerusalem to worship (14:16). What can account for such a dramatic change? It is the opening of a fountain in Jerusalem on that day that someone very close to Yahweh is pierced which results in the land being purified and the shepherd’s flock being scattered for refining by fire.
