Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship

This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.

Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Opus 2026-228: Uncharted Revelation: The Eyes Have It

I can feel myself bogging down on this project.  

One of the questions that cannot be answer and yet is has to do with all the eyes in chapter 4 and 5.  Someone said they reflected wisdom.  I am not sure what gives a scholar the insight to proclaim that.  If he were a farmer he might make some reference to potatoes.

While we are on eyes, look at the description of the Lamb,

(Rev 5:6 KJV)  And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
I assume that this Lamb is Jesus but why seven eyes and horns?  Are the eyes on the end of the horns?  Are they at the base?  Does it matter?

Another important question would be, “How do you justify all the time you spend trying to figure this out?”
