Revelation Week 2 Reading Guide
This week you'll finally get a glimpse at the vision John had. We're taken to a heavenly "throne room" where John sees "the one on the throne" and a "slain lamb" (presumably God the Father and Christ the Son, respectively). The descriptions may reinforce or challenge your preconceived mental models of God and Christ. But one thing is for certain: John sees the way things are meant to be, all of creation rightly oriented toward God.
