It’s the beginning of the end! No, that’s not the gift of prophecy coming out, but it is a Dad-joke about the book of Revelation and our reading plan. The book of Revelation is the last book in the Bible, the last book in our reading plan, and it is the book that is all about last things. The topic of the end times is referred to as “eschatology.” The apostle John found himself imprisoned on the island of Patmos because of his gospel ministry. While there, the Spirit came upon John and revealed a vision to him, instructing him to write everything he saw on a scroll, which was to be sent to seven churches. These beginning chapters contain direct communication to particular local congregations, giving both commendation and critique. This first chapter serves as an introduction to John’s entire vision and to those letters.
