Download or read book Shekhins Uncovering the Universalism of John s Vision written by Jd Hyobel and published by Hyobel. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither physical nor spirit beings but "shekhins"- such is the discovery of this book concerning the characters in Revelation. But what are shekhins if these are not beings? How did this book arrive at this viewpoint? To explain these, this book undergoes some excruciating feat from which books on Revelation largely shy away. But this is not the only endeavor that this book braves. Throughout its radical scrutiny of Revelation, it also clenches the view that all faiths and Eastern philosophies are in the vision of John - a view that again defies most, if not all, mainstream perspectives on Revelation. Upholding this, the book eventually learns the cogency of such a view after thoughtfully dissecting passages in Revelation. Passages in Revelation do not appear as they seem. Bracing its arguments with wide-ranging research on philosophy, religion, and theology, this book consequentially delivers rich, original, and highly intriguing insights, such as on: - the problem of evil - miracle and God's omnipotence - the non-selectiveness of God - the seven angels of Rev. 2-3 - the "wrath" of God - natural theology - spiritual forces - and many more This book also finds itself having unearthed the gem buried deep within the vision: perfection in love.
