Rosie Perera continue her series on Revelation with a message entitle Jesus Glorified based on a series of lectures she attended last year at Regent, in a bid to bring to life the wonder and majesty of this book in some understanding of its situation and poetry. Rosie noted the significance of all the symbolism in the passaged Rev 1:9-20, from the seven churches, lampstands, and stars; the symbolism of the description of the son of Man, and even the significance of his name. All these symbols would have been well known to Jews of that time as they were mentioned in earlier books of prophets and prophecy. Rosie contrasted this symbolism with the counter-symbolism of the John 12:12-16 where Jesus enters Jerusalem preceded by people waving palm branches, and enticed us to wait for the next installment of this series in the understanding of Revelation.
