I'm exegeting the book of Revelation this semester and I'm so excited.

"Revelation is a 'visionary critique' of the beastly side of empire, the deification of human power and the seamy side of commerce."
1/

Revelation is about "Lamb Power," or uncivil nonviolent critiques of Empire and challenging our relationship to it. 2/

Because of its nonviolent nature, Revelation is deeply sensory, worshipful, and powerful. It's sci-fi, prophecy, opera, hip hop, poetical. 3/

Every #worshipleader and liturgist should study Revelation in-depth for some inspiration during these intense times. Revelation is the intense antithesis of intense worldly Empires. end/

In that sense, it makes sense that the arts are so necessary during this time, to increase the depth, meaning and magnitude of the message.
