The mystical union of Revelation for ASH

Interpretation at ASH (Abrahamic Study Hall) of this “mystical union” in Revelation plunges into a sea of symbolism, inviting readers to transcend the written text to discover a divine message that, though rooted in the past, speaks with urgency to the present and illuminates the future. Interpretation that is not limited to the millennial framework of the writing of Revelation, but extends to the eternal relevance of the Divine Message, the one that has never ceased, and never will, to be delivered to humanity.

This union in Revelation 19 sees the Spirit of the Messiah, i.e., the LORD’s anointed, the Christ, to rest one day upon every believer on earth, creating a “breath” of union that will enable GOD’s people to think and act as one body with a unified mind. Only through this mystical realization will conflicts between peoples be resolved and each individual sincerely strive to assist “those who are left behind,” supported in turn by “those who are ahead.” Against this backdrop, Revelation is revealed not only as an end times tale, but as a prophetic vision of universal reconciliation and unity, where knowledge and mutual understanding among believers of different Abrahamic traditions become the bridge to lasting peace and fruitful cooperation in the name of divinity.
