The gospels say Jesus crucified in Jerusalem: Why does Revelation say Sodom and Egypt?
Revelation's claim that Jesus was crucified in Sodom and Egypt is metaphorical, not literal. Author Joe Kovacs explains that "Sodom" represents a fiery trial, and "Egypt" symbolizes misery, reflecting the spiritual realm where Jesus's sacrifice purifies humanity. The Bible, Kovacs argues, communicates on both physical and spiritual levels.

Context

The documentary directed by Steven Soderbergh about John Lennon's final radio interview offers a lens into the cultural and historical context of the early 1980s, a time marked by significant social and political upheaval. Demographically, the United States was experiencing a shift with the rise of the baby boomer generation, which had a profound impact on music, art, and social movements. Lennon, as a prominent figure in the counterculture of the 1960s, represented a voice for peace and social justice, resonating with a generation grappling with issues such as the Vietnam War and civil rights.

Economically, the U.S. was facing challenges, including high inflation and unemployment, which contributed to a sense of disillusionment among many citizens. This economic backdrop influenced the themes in Lennon's work, as he often addressed societal issues through his music. Politically, the late 1970s and early 1980s were characterized by a conservative shift under President Ronald Reagan, which contrasted sharply with the progressive ideals Lennon championed.

Geographically, Lennon's life in New York City placed him at the heart of a vibrant cultural scene, but it also exposed him to the complexities of urban life, including crime and social inequality. His assassination on December 8, 1980, underscored the vulnerabilities of public figures and raised questions about national security and gun control in America.

Overall, the documentary not only highlights Lennon's legacy but also serves as a reflection of the broader societal issues of his time, making it a poignant exploration of a pivotal moment in history.
