This vision is one of the most remarkable in the New Testament. John references the exact circumstances in which it takes place. He is on Patmos, a small island in the Aegean Sea, where he is imprisoned for courageously preaching the Word of God and bearing witness to Jesus. Although he is far away, he does not feel abandoned; he knows he is our brother and fellow sufferer; he shares with all persecuted Christians the hardships for the kingdom of God. This is the first time the words ‘Sunday’ or ‘Lord’s Day’ appear in the New Testament. The prophet observes a mysterious figure (13), a human form (cf. Dan 7:13). This figure has the power and authority to judge humanity. The prophet, who refused to bow before the emperor of Rome, falls to the ground and worships Jesus Christ as his only God and Lord. But Jesus Christ does not threaten him; instead, in a gesture of profound kindness, he places his right hand on John’s head and comforts him. The Church can trust in the providence of her Lord, who will never forsake her.
