Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Back in 1970, when I was dating, I would often get taken to "arty" movies (perhaps to impress the date that we were cool and hip and very very oh so intellectual, LOL), and, in one of them the voice-over read this Chapter from Revelation. Not having been exposed to the Bible, both my date and I thought that these were the words of the director of the film (Ingemar Bergman), and both of us thought that they were the most profound, deep, thoughtful, and COOL poetic words we had ever seen in a movie. Imagine how surprised I was when I encountered these words in the BIBLE, some 10 years later!

In any case, once again we see the similarity to the openings of both the Gospel of John and his first Letter. Jesus isn't just Jesus to John. He is the Light, the Logos, The Word, The Lion of Judah, The Lamb of God, The Root and Offspring of David, The Vine, The Bread of Life, and here, He is all of those at once.

The first three Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, are call the "Synoptic" Gospels. That means that they basically "see" the story the same way. John's Gospel is "Autoptic", meaning that he is looking at the Story his own way, as a Theologian. Our Eastern Orthodox FRiends actually refer to the Apostle John as "John the Theologian" because of this very thing. In the Book of Revelation, we see "John The Theologian" in full flower, like a rose opening up.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

ND I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

And the four beasts said, Amen."
