End

Revelation is the end. It’s often the end of our curiosity, at least. The people who really love Revelation often strike us as a bit…unbalanced. The complexity of the composition intimidates us. We’d rather keep the polite company of the Gospels or the superhero stories of the Old Testament. We give up too easily. This isn’t a commentary. It’s a set of devotional forays into the bog of the book, which are meant to show us that Revelation is worth wrestling with. There’s a beauty in this mystery, terrifying and pure. Engaging Revelation unlocks a more balanced perspective on the rest of the Bible. If you’re brave enough to explore these haunted woods then you’ll find that Revelation is the beginning.
