Unlocking the Secrets of Revelation: A Conversation with Andrew Sach
As we dive into the mysterious book of Revelation, it’s easy to get lost in its symbolism and imagery. But what if we told you that the key to unlocking its secrets lies in the Old Testament? Join us as we explore this fascinating connection with pastor and author Andrew Sach.
The Old Testament: The Missing Piece of the Puzzle
Andrew Sach believes that our unfamiliarity with the Old Testament is what makes Revelation seem strange to us. “Lots of the imagery and odd ideas in Revelation are actually images picked up from the Old Testament prophets,” he explains. By recognizing these references, we can gain a deeper understanding of John’s message.
Going Bigger and Going Older
Andrew’s approach to studying the Bible is simple yet profound: “Go bigger and go older.” Instead of focusing on individual verses, we need to read the entire book in context. And when we do, we’ll discover that the Old Testament provides the framework for understanding Revelation.
The Power of Allusions
Unlike other New Testament writers, John doesn’t explicitly quote the Old Testament in Revelation. Instead, he weaves in allusions that require us to dig deeper. By recognizing these subtle connections, we can uncover the rich tapestry of meaning that John intended to convey.
Unraveling the Mystery of Revelation
As Andrew and his preaching partner, Andrew Latimer, preached through Revelation, they avoided sensationalism and instead focused on uncovering the book’s true meaning. By doing so, they revealed a message that’s both familiar and yet, utterly surprising.
