God in John’s Apocalypse Cover

Abstract

The book of Revelation is resoundingly theocentric and intensively monotheistic from first to last. The presence and person of God the Father permeates and punctuates the vision at every turn as the central character orchestrating all things according to his purposes. This theocentric character of the Apocalypse, however, is often overshadowed by its extremely pronounced Christology. One possible reason is because John does not consign Christology to a separate category of theology. But from the very outset God is unambiguously identified as the ultimate sovereign ruler of the universe. Revelation attributes a functional distinction between Father and Son, but they equally receive worship and are ascribed as worthy of worship.
