THE REVELATION OF
JESUS CHRIST: Understanding the Apocalypse
The Book of Revelation Viewed from a
Hebraic-Mind set
Synopsis
The
revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his
servants what must soon take place. He made it known by
sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to
everything he saw - that is, the word of God and the
testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads
the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear
it and take to heart what is written in it, because the
time is near.
Revelation 1:1-3
Many
Christians are reluctant to read the Book of Revelation
because they are intimidated by the symbolic language and
unfamiliar with Hebrew culture. Yet those in the
congregation who have ears to hear (not only listen to the
message but take it to heart), are promised a special
blessing.
Too
often the Western church views the Scripture from a Greek
Mind-set and within the culture and context of a
Hellenized society and pagan Roman solar calendar. They
hold to a linear view of history and have
compartmentalized thinking – segmenting ideas by defining
them a placing them neatly into a box. Certainly this type
of reasoning has been a stumbling block to the proper
understanding of the Book of Revelation.
On the
other hand, the prophets and writers of the Gospels and
New Testament epistles gave forth the Scriptures under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit within the culture and
context of a life lived as prescribed in the Torah and
according to the lunar Hebrew calendar. The Hebrew view of
history is cyclical and the Hebrew Mind-set is of
whole-living. The distinction between the two mind-sets
arises from the difference between doing and knowing. The
Hebrew is concerned with practice, the Greek with
knowledge. Right conduct is the ultimate concern of the
Hebrew, right thinking that of the Greek.
In order
to best interpret the meaning of the visions and the
symbolic language of the Book of Revelation, it is not
only essential to have both a good working knowledge of
the rest of the Bible and possess an understanding of the
culture and customs of biblical times but also to view the
scriptures from a Hebraic-Mind set. To better understand
the chronology of the events prophesied in Revelation, it
is helpful to be familiar with the story telling technique
of the ancient Hebrews. An excellent illustration is the
Genesis record of the creation. Genesis 1:1–2:3 is an
orderly and progressive account of the creation week
through day seven and God’s Sabbath of rest. Genesis
2:4–25 then refers back to day six with specific details,
and Genesis 3 moves forward again to the account of the
fall of man. In other words, an overall view of the
creation week is presented first, and then the specifics
concerning the creation of man were written.
The end
time chronology of the Book of Revelation is not a strict
linear account but gives an overview of events followed by
specifics that disclose the future of the Jew, the Gentile
and the body of Messiah through visions that spiral and
recapitulate events in increasing intensity. THE
REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST: Understanding the Apocalypse
is a unique verse by verse account of the Book of
Revelation viewed from a Hebraic-Mind set. |
