Episode notes
Revelation Looks Back To The Old Testament
- Revelation is densely rooted in the Old Testament, with many images echoing earlier scriptures.
- Jen Wilkin urges readers to “look behind” to decode symbolism rather than invent new meanings.
Repetition Shows God's Faithfulness
- Repetition in Revelation (recapitulation) reinforces God's faithfulness across generations.
- The throne image repeats to remind readers that God's reign offers the book's core encouragement.
Start By Knowing, Then Cross-Reference
- First ask, "Do I know what I just read?" by summarizing concrete details and sketching scenes.
- Then ask where similar images appear elsewhere in Scripture to unlock meaning.
