Uncharted Territory
I was re-reading the Revelation of John – God knows why, or
maybe God does not. It was not something I ever planned to
translate for the TRV.* But, here a small, small slice from
chapters one and twenty-one, leaving out everything
before, in between, and after. No doubt I have committed
the usual mistakes against Greek grammar and syntax, the
usual sins against church dogma. But because I am ignorant anyone can add any words to
the prophecy of this book.

*Ted Riich Version. It is really foolish to start a theological argument in a footnote to a blog post, however banal, but contra both Luther [“Christ is neither taught nor known in it.” ] and Calvin ["The study of Revelation either finds a man mad, or leaves him that way."]: however I became mad, I do find Christ in Revelation. Get rid of chapters 2 - 20 and 22, and you can hear a friend of Jesus, talking about kindness, if we can believe in it. Granted, for many, if not most, there's a lot to let go of first.
