Abstract

Abstract This article argues that many of Revelation’s ancient Jewish, Greek, and Roman audience members would have recognized a cosmic blood purification ritual at work in chapters 15–16. I contend first that many early audiences would have perceived the cosmos in Revelation as an operational temple (at least in Rev 4–16). I, then, expose similarities between the bowls of wrath and ancient blood purification rituals for sacred space. In the final section of this article, I demonstrate how many ancient audiences would have understood global pollution to be a major problem for Revelation’s narrative and how the blood purification-like ritual of Rev 15–16 resolves it.
《启示录》中的血净化和圣殿
这篇文章认为,许多《启示录》的古代犹太、希腊和罗马读者会在15-16章中认识到一个宇宙的血液净化仪式。首先,我认为许多早期的读者会认为启示录中的宇宙是一个运作的圣殿(至少在启示录4-16)。然后,我揭露了愤怒之碗和古代神圣空间的血液净化仪式之间的相似之处。在这篇文章的最后一部分,我将展示有多少古代的读者将全球污染理解为启示录叙述中的一个主要问题,以及启示录15-16中类似于血液净化的仪式是如何解决这个问题的。
