REVERENT and REBELLIOUS Ep. #51 - REVELATION 1 - THE VISION

Revelation is a letter. It starts in a fairly ordinary fashion. Grace to you and peace. But suddenly it shifts - from natural to supernatural - from the real world to a dream world. John is "in the Spirit on the Lord's Day." He hears a voice - like the sound of a trumpet - and it's on! He sees a divine being. It's Jesus - the glorified Jesus! John scrambles to find vocabulary to describe this awesome, majestic, powerful King! He starts pulling in images from his Bible - the Old Testament - writing rapid fire as the vision is laid out before him! Is it scary? Yes - at first. He falls down as a dead man! But as it unfolds, John sees - and we see - it's a vision of comfort - encouragement - hope! Come with us as we explore this incredible vision - and get a glimpse of Jesus - the first and the last - the living One!
