Revelation is
a book that can be ruined by scholars and reveled in by children. The Adult-minded
can ruin this book with their attention to details that cannot be known, and
lead people to satisfy themselves by creating explanations that make sense to
them, but have no scriptural authority. The Child-minded can look at the same
pictures, absorb them in wonder, and then express their “Wow!” of Worshipful
awe.
No matter how
much we have to try to explain of each scene of the Revelation, our aim is to
keep it as the picture that it is, and stand in wonder of the scenes as they
build throughout the book. We want to rest in the pictures, and the
connections, and the affirmations of other Scriptures. We want to let our
spiritual senses take in the scenes that are described as though we are truly
listening to that final, grand finale of Scripture’s symphony, and marveling at
how every theme of God’s word is drawn together in notes and harmonies that we
cannot contain, in so many harmonious instruments and voices, all singing and
playing together, overwhelming our senses with so much beautiful stimulation
that all we can do is let the tears of joy, and humility, and wonder slide down
our faces as we marvel at the glory of our God who has always had everything in
his hands.
