Singing in an Apocalypse
from Love Chapel Hill Hosted by Allison Otwell
Voices of Resistance --- Revelation 21:1-4 What is the book of Revelation actually about? Who was it written for? What message does it have that endures beyond its time? The book of Revelation needs a new PR team. This book has been misinterpreted and used in many ways that just don’t capture what it is really about. This is not a book of endings and damnation, but a book of hope and new beginnings. And it is filled with songs! Songs of victory, lament, praise, and grief, all flowing together in harmony. Songs on earth and in heaven, and in the end those songs join together in one beautiful perfect melody. John’s vision shows us how music and worship are not detached intellectual experiences, but fully embodied practices. It pushes us to practice for heaven- worshiping with our whole selves in all of our existence. Additionally, John’s vision implores us to RESIST empire in all in forms. To never sacrifice the gospel. And it gives us hope for a future in which God’s kingdom rules eternal.
