Thank You, Tim Hetzner!

A good friend and mentor, Tim Hetzner, President of Lutheran Church Charities, is going to teach a 30-week class on the book of Revelation, called Apocalysis Jesu Christou. Finally, someone is going to bring a sensible approach to this book. I've signed up our church as a site for this class that will be starting in September. Here's a excerpt of what Tim says about Revelation:

Revelation is a prophecy about imminent events – events that were about to break loose on the world of the first century. Revelation is not about nuclear warfare, space travel, or the end of the world. Again and again it specifically warns that “the time is near!” St. John wrote his book as a prophecy of the approaching destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, showing that Jesus Christ had brought the New Covenant and the New Creation. Revelation cannot be understood unless this fundamental fact is taken seriously.

Thank you, Tim!! I'm looking forward to this study!!
