| 520 | |a Recent approaches to apocalyptic literature suggest that the purpose of such literature is to exhort its audience toward subversive resistance-a now common interpretation of the Book of Revelation. However, as the cosmic events depicted in the text are usually either divinely or demonically initiated, human agency seems to be limited. A closer examination of human activity in the text demonstrates a clear binary distinction made between humans who side with God (the "faithful"), and humans who side with evil (the "worldly"); whilst the worldly are shown to have a degree of agency and power, their actions inevitably lead to further cosmic imbalance. This is a deliberate authorial move to prevent overt acts ofresistance from the faithful-whilst the worldly's actions push the world further into disaster against the backdrop of cosmic struggle, the faithful are provided a limited set of actions that assist in the culmination of God's plan: they are told to wait, witness and worship. These three actions function as a strategy of resistance, allowing the faithful agency in combating evil within their own contexts, whilst limiting overt resistance to avoid further scrutiny from the powers that be. | ||
