This week we took a brief pause to cement the foundations of God as creator, and creation as inherently good, in accordance with the nature assigned to all things and beings at creation.. This is important because the work of evil, as seen in the beasts of the book of Revelation, is to, by way of deception, claim God’s power for themselves. This quickly leads to violence and ruin as it did in Genesis 6 and 11. And the way the beasts in Revelation do this is by blurring the creator / creature distinction. Therefore a return to the foundations laid at creation, in accordance with the creation account in Genesis, is rather helpful as we come to the home stretch of John’s Apocalypse in the weeks to come.
