I've ever done it before--but today we started reading the Book of Revelation at Bible Study at Trinity, Milton.
It didn't take long to realize why I'd never done it before!
"Revelation" comes from the Greek word, "apocalypse" which was translated that way in the early church.
Now, in English, it means, almost literally, "the end of the world".
And the study group was an 'apocalypse' in the modern meaning.
It makes almost no logical sense and no matter how you choose to interpret it, it makes less sense than that.
People had their brains burned today.
But we're going to keep reading for the next two weeks. The group chose that over moving on to something else.
One member said, "I want to finish it because I'll never read it again."
How true. How true.
