Based on the cultural and narrative contexts of the book of Revelation, it is argued in this study that this 'rest' reflects two Jewish traditions: (1) rest from work and (2) rest from enemies. It also proposes that 'rest from toil' also carries a strong connotation of victory over persecutors - a reading with important implications for understanding John's rhetorical strategy of increasing the motivation for his readers/hearers to remain faithful to Christ, even when facing death. |
