I'm starting a personal study of the book of Revelation. And no, it's not that the recent election has me looking for signs of the Apocalypse. I've been thinking about it for a while and am finally starting. I'm really interested in the imagery of Christ in John's revelation.
And so, it begins with Christ - the firstborn of the dead - whose "head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters" Not quite the bearded guy in robe and purple sash.
Don't know how long or deep my study will take me, but I'm looking forward to it.
Coming Soon!

I love the images that John gives too. I get troubled when people interpret things in the book and say that "this has to mean this". I am ok with Mystery.
So how is your study going?
it's a mystery!
No, really it's going well but slowly.
Here's a timely quote as I watch the markets fall again today:
“A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” Rev 6:6
