We come to a section of Revelation that has caused immense debate and discussion and division (Rev 20:1-6). It is a striking fact because it immediately places a huge weight on six verses that deal with something mentioned nowhere else in the Bible, as well as throw out the consistent way we have handled Revelation so far (remember apocalyptic imagery?).
As people get entranced and distracted by Revelation 20:1-6 and the question of ‘chiliasm’, they forget the clarity around this section: there will be a judgement day, and how are we preparing for that day? From another perspective, there are two feasts to which all humans are invited, and the key is how they deal with Jesus – will you be at the feast as an ‘eater’ or as the ‘eaten’?
