What if Holy Saturday wasn’t silent at all—but the moment everything began to crack? When death took a sinless man, it overstepped its authority. And in that divine injustice, something cosmic shifted. This is the story of the day hell made a fatal mistake.
In Revelation 1:5, John pulls from Psalm 89 to bestow three different titles upon Jesus. The second title of, “the firstborn of the dead,” sounds a bit trippy the first time you hear it. What is John communicating in this statement? Weren’t there others in the Bible raised back to life before Jesus was? Join…
In Revelation 1:5, John pulls from Psalm 89 to bestow three different titles upon Jesus. In his first title of, “faithful witness,” John likens Jesus to the moon. Where’s he headed with this analogy? And what other connotations does the word witness carry throughout Revelation? That’s what’s on the table in this episode of JXN…
It seems like an odd statement to say, “God made science,” but it’s a necessary statement to make, because the church often acts as though science is a devious force at odds with God. At times it even feels as though the church thinks Satan owns science, which is actually quite a blasphemous thought. We…

Throughout 404 verses, John makes 518 references to other Bible passages. Did John see all of these references solely in a vision? Or did he write his apocalypse based solely on Scripture? Or is there a mix of prophetic vision and Scripture incorporation happening all at the same time? Discuss it further with us on…
I know a lot of people dealing with an immense amount of suffering these days, and I thought we could all learn something about how to suffer well from my good friend Brian Shott, who passed away a few months ago from pancreatic cancer after an extended battle with it. That being said, I’m posting…
Right from the get-go Revelation is confusing. Take for example the seven spirits in front of God’s throne in Revelation 1:4. What are these? Do they represent the Holy Spirit? Or are they something else? The JXN Cloud team throws out a few proposals they’ve heard of from churches and commentators and then they nail…
The number seven appears over 50 times throughout the Book of Revelation, showing that John certainly had an intention in using it. But what did this number mean to John? The answer(s) to that question are theologically and beautifully significant—and it’s to those answers that we now turn in today’s episode of JXN Cloud! Don’t…
