The Twenty-Sixth Sunday After Pentecost
The Twenty-Sixth Sunday After Pentecost
Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that, by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Proper 28)

The Revelation of Saint John the Divine is one of the most peculiar and controversial books of the Bible. Also called by its anglicized Greek name, the Apocalypse, the book’s imagery, language, and claims about heaven, earth, and the relationship between them, have captivated Christians for millennia. This class will look closely at the book, guided by several recent Anglican commentaries.
Who are the 144,000 people whom John sees in the seventh chapter of the Revelation of Saint John the Divine? To put it in perspective, Manhattan has about 72,000 people per square mile, so John sees a number approximately equal to everyone living between Saint Thomas Church and the Flatiron Building. But even 144,000 is, importantly, fewer than “a great multitude, which no man could number.” A somewhat smaller group is expected on Sunday, November 13, at 10am, on the fifth floor of the parish house.
