Revelation

THE BOOK OF REVELATION: M. M. NINAN
Historic Centre (Chora) with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the
Apocalypse on the Island of Pátmos and on the right Mosaic above the entrance to the Cave of
the Apocalypse, depicting, according to the text near the top of the mosaic, "Ὁ Ἅγιος Ιωάννης
ο Θεολόγος" ("Saint John the Theologian") and his disciple Prochoros, who transfers John's
visions into writing.
Rev 1:10-11 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice
like the sound of a trumpet, saying, “Write in a book what you see, and send it to the
seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to
Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
The vision was on the Lord’s day which of course was Sunday which was the day early Christian
communities met to worship. Some interpret the day of the Lord as the end time period. They interpret
that John was transported in time to the future to show him the future.
It all started with the traditional jewish trumpet.
A shofar ( ‏(שׁוֹפָר is a horn, traditionally that of a ram, used for Jewish religious purposes.
The blast of a shofar emanating from the thick cloud on Mount Sinai made the Israelites
tremble in awe (Exodus 19:16).
