Revelation is also called the Apocalypse because in the original language it is Apocalypsis Iesou Chirstou, the Apocalypse of Jesus Christ. The Greek "apocalypsis" is translated into English as "revelation." |

| Genesis 1:1-5: Moving Waters |

In Genesis 1:1-5, the Spirit moves on the face of the waters.
In Psalm 29, the voice of God moves waters.
I expanded my reading a bit to include John 5:1-15, where many powerless people waited for the moving of the waters, but Jesus came by and healed one of them without moving the waters.
I also read 2 Kings 5:1-14, where Naaman dipped himself in the Jordan River, that's moving water, and was healed of leprosy.
Then there was Mark 1:4-11, the story of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River so he could be with us, God walking through the waters with us.
That took me to Isaiah 43:2, where God says that when God's people pass through the waters, God will be with them.
In Acts 19:1-7, Christian baptism is the ritual of passing through the waters to be with Christ, or in the name of Christ.
So God bless us all, that in whatever waters we pass through, God will be with us. |
