A Vision of Heaven

An Encouragement to Think About Revelation 4&5

This past Sunday in our adult Sunday School class we continued our studies in the book of Revelation.

Having managed to make it through Revelation 1-3 without getting at all sidetracked by sensationalism and/or the kinds of speculative nonsense that puts so many people off of Revelation, we found ourselves Sunday looking at Chapters 4&5.  In those chapters the Apostle John is carried away to the very throne room of heaven itself and while there he sees many wonderful and comforting things.  Through our study I was personally reminded of why Revelation 4&5 are some of my favorite chapters in all of the Bible.

Why Not Give it a Read?

​As you read Revelation 4&5 don’t worry so much about trying to interpret every detail but instead focus on the overall impression that these chapters create.  Never forget the book of Revelation is not the eccentric black-sheep of the “Bible-Book Family.”  Like every other book of the Bible it is ultimately a divine revelation of Jesus Christ (see Revelation 1:1).

Why Not Give it a Listen?

​Once you've read the passage please make the time to listen to one of the finest talks I’ve ever heard on Revelation 4&5.  It was delivered by Christian Apologist and Oxford University Professor of Mathematics, Dr. John Lennox at the '09 Basics Conference.  I was in the audience that night and remember the talk very well.  It was a great blessing to me and pray it might be a blessing to you too.
