An Outlier Survivor's Guide in Apocalypse Places: Revelation Devotional Commentary

By Vincent Law

How do we perceive where the cosmos is headed amidst deep cultural and religious differences centering around Jerusalem, holy city of three major followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam? The Book of Revelation (Apocalypse) resonate in the present proliferating soulless A.I. eon and volatile yet timeliness, putting tremendous pressures on economic and geopolitical conflicts.

In the metaverse, the Net Generation escape the harshness of a cancelling cruel society assuming avatars of endless possibilities in virtual communities. The new era of social networking become more alluring as real life encounters turn unbearably intolerant to the point of utter disgust at the sight of another human being.

This is a koine-English transliteration of Revelation.

Will all things end in human flourishing or cataclysmic floundering? Are we awaiting the 1,000 year reign of Christ or is the Millennium coming to an end and is here now unleashing Satan from the Abyss for upheaval times ahead?

This 30 devotional readings attempt to shed light on how to read, hear and keep the words of the last book of the Bible as the Ecclesia (Christ-Community) make ready for Christ's second coming as the Bride of the Lamb at the consummation of the eon because the kairos (timeliness) is near.

(Excerpt from the Forward)

Historicists see Revelation continuing a broad view of history, while Preterists as mostly referring to events of the Apostolic Eon (1st century). Futurists are convince it describe future events, and Idealists or Symbolists consider it does not refer to actual people or events, but an allegory of the spiritual journey and the ongoing struggle between good and evil. The disparity compounded by culture, language and faith communities, is complicated further by the dimension of time as both chronological and opportune. The differing outcome are determine by what is literal and which is metaphorical in the texts, objects, numerical values and contexts.

This author adopt a realist approach of Revelation of Jesus Agnus Victor (Conquering Lamb) in penultimate reality. Adoration of the enthrone Lamb slain is the liturgical offertory in eschatological times.
