Revelation Quotes

“When read in its Jewish context, Revelation ceases to be a literal end-time timetable and becomes what it was meant to be: a message of hope! It reassures the suffering church that, despite the apparent power of Rome (or any oppressive system), God reigns. Jesus, the slain Lamb, has already won the decisive victory. The imagery of judgment is not a prediction of a literal cataclysm but a dramatic way of affirming that the empires of this world will fall before God’s justice.”

“Ancient Gnostics believed salvation came through gnosis — divine knowledge that “enlightened” the soul. Similarly, many modern Western gospel presentations that teach people are saved or damned based on what they mentally understand reduces the Gospel to a cerebral exam. It’s the same fleshless gospel — repackaged Gnosticism disguised as Christianity.”
