On one hand, the headlines of our day, on the other, the book of Revelation.  Two worlds, as different as a hare-brained dictator and a seven-headed monster, as a terrorist's bomb and a bowl of wrath. How can one world speak to the other?  As different as they seem, they are actually parallel worlds: one, our fleeting and shallow glimpse at life; the other, a cosmic perspective on reality, what's really happening behind (or above) our scene. "Revelation" by definition is God's unveiling of truths otherwise hidden.
Scripture: Revelation 1
