Vision Verses
Seven verses that give you a feel for the Vision Rhythm
If we had only one Bible verse to give us the Vision Rhythm, it would probably be Revelation 11.15:
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: “The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”
That is the first verse in the set of seven "Vision Verses" below. They are snippets from all over the Bible that get you started toward seeing how wonderful the biblical vision is and how many layers it has.
That vision is like a complicated rhythm when you hear it for the first time. You may not catch on right away, but if you keep listening you will. And you don't have to understand it all perfectly in order to start liking it. Just like it, and watch it grow on you as you keep listening.
