The Second Sunday Of Advent
The Second Sunday Of Advent
Merciful God, who sent thy messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation: Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the HolySpirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Revelation of Saint John the Divine is one of the most peculiar and controversial books of the Bible. Also called by its anglicized Greek name, the Apocalypse, the book’s imagery, language, and claims about heaven, earth, and the relationship between them, have captivated Christians for millennia. This class will look closely at the book, guided by several recent Anglican commentaries.
In the tenth chapter of Revelation a “mighty angel” comes down from heaven (you can see Blake’s representation of him here) and a voice tells John to eat the “little book” that the angel is holding. This eucharistic moment is followed by two parables of the Church and, finally, the opening of the seventh seal.
