Revelation chapter 10

Reflexion, A Spiritual Community

I get the feeling that when we read the book of Revelation,

We tend to watch each scene unfold from a safe distance
- I don’t think it was meant to read this way,
• we’re supposed to feel a threatening closeness
• we’re drawn into the dream – it’s our collective nightmare
- John was certainly more than a spectator
• characters approach him, converse with, and engage him
◦ in this chapter he’ll be told to take and eat what he has been shown
• we do not merely read the Revelation, we encounter it
◦ we go on an adventure through this fantastical other-world
