If sin is a falling short of what God has called us to do and how to live (which I believe that to be the case), then idolatry is that which has brought us to the place where we have the possibility of falling short (i.e., sinning).
In all of my reading of articles and books and listening to different lectures on Revelation there stands out, at least two—let’s call them guides—toward a better reading and understanding of that most ominous book of the Bible.
There seems to be no end to the books that have been and will be written about Jesus. Which is, of course, what John tells us at the end of his gospel: “…I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written” (Jn. 21:25b).
