| Summary: | The power of the Apocalypse of John on a communicative level lies in its theologically evocative power. When the Apocalypse of John is read as a dramatic narrative, different levels of narrativity may be identified. John and the church's story forms level one and the divine and cosmic story level two. Both levels suppose an unplotted presupposed macro narrative level. From this reconstructed theological macronarrative the theological motif is derived, concentrating on the transcendent position of God on his throne. The theological motif deals with the unfolding and acknowledging of God's kingship on earth as it is already acknowledged in heaven. It is told from the perspective of God's transcendency and immanence to become a prophetic communication in narrative format for a specific context. |
