Thursday Jan 28, 2021
Thursday Jan 28, 2021
This episode explores the call-and-response hymn in Revelation chapter 7. In doing so, we notice that Revelation's ideal readers are offering worship to both God and Jesus within a single hymn. We discuss the implications of worshipping the Lamb alongside the only true God and suggest that God's identity is not threatened within this worship practice.

In Revelation chapter 5, the ideal readers initiate a worship hymn to Jesus. In doing so, they detail the reasons for Jesus' worthiness, giving attentive readers a better understanding of why hymnic praise can (and should) be offered to a highly exalted human being.

155: Hymnic Worship in Revelation Chapter 4
Thursday Jan 14, 2021
Thursday Jan 14, 2021
The Book of Revelation offers seven hymns that tell us much about the worship practices of the early church. This episode looks at Revelation's first hymn, located in chapter 4. The object is seated upon the throne, which is repeatedly expressed with singular pronouns and verbs. We also look at how the ideal readers of Revelation are invited to participate in this hymn through active worship practices, by singing about God's unique role as the Creator, and even acknowledging creation's preexistence within God's foreknowledge.

154: Jesus as the Word of God in Revelation
Thursday Jan 07, 2021
Thursday Jan 07, 2021
In Revelation 19:13, Jesus is called "the word of God." Is this a reference to the Prologue of John's Gospel, where the Word is with God in the beginning? Or is the word of God a descriptive reference to Jesus' preaching of the gospel of the kingdom? This episode explores how the phrase "word of God" functions in the Book of Revelation, looking closely at Jesus as a faithful witness of the good news.
