Rescuing Revelation
Jul 09, 2025In his Apocalypse John describes an abyss. But John never intended his book to be engulfed by it.
Unplugged refers, today, to stripping away unnecessary spectacle: the strobing lights, pulsing lasers, fog machines, giant screens. An acoustic guitar without amps. A break from digital noise. As a metaphor, it refers to a raw, honest conversation without invasive censorship or political correctness, or to disconnecting oneself from needless complexity, tangled reasoning, or overthinking a particular problem.
When it comes to John’s Apocalypse, there is so much extraneous, distracting “theological” noise that we need to unplug from it. The problem is, readers today are addicted to it. It’s like a drug. Theological agendas engulf the book and ensnare its readers. Especially with this book—the symbolic imagery, the bizarre creatures, the extraordinary poetic depictions—in our efforts to explain every detail of the book, it’s incredibly alluring to contaminate it with associations, theologies, theories, and suppositions that are all foreign. So, we end up hallucinating about illusory “connections” to this text, or to that event, or to that person or country or time.
