Abstract

There is a widespread belief among Indonesian people (especially among the Javenese) that certain people (e.g. only child; a son who has only one brother but no sister) find themselves in a given situation, called sukerto, namely a situation which automatically brings to those people misery, misfortune or at least unpleasant situations. They are destined to be victims of an evil power, the socalled Bathara Kala. In order for them to be freed from this sukerto they should undergo a religious ritual called ruwatan (from the Javenese word ruwat, meaning to free, to release). This ritual consists of, among other things, a performance of Wayang Kulit (shadow puppet) with a special story. Some Roman Catholics (priests as well as lay people) perform ruwatan. They do this for the sake of inculturation of the Gospel, i.e. the process of integrating Gospel’s values into local cultures. They link the idea of ruwatan with some biblical verses; they also compare it with the notion of sin and of indulgence. This short article aims at showing that it is difficult, if not impossible, to adopt ruwatan and adapt it into Christianity.

Abstract

The Revelation of John, the last book of the New Testament, expresses the Church’s eschatological hope, i.e. the hope for the final victory of God over Satan at the end of all ages. That hope is proclaimed and celebrated first of all when the faithful come together for worship. That is why the Revelation of John is full of symbolism taken from liturgy, such as reading, listening, blessing, doxology, lampstand, incense, and temple. This article shows how the symbolism of temple (Greek: naos) is used in that book. Before the consummation of the world becomes a reality, so many things should first take place on earth. It is from his throne in heavenly temple that God controlls the world. Besides, on one hand the final state of the faithful is depicted as becoming a permanent part of the heavenly temple (Rev 3:12), but on the other hand it is described as living in the New Jerusalem which in its turn is depicted as a perfect city but also as a huge and perfect temple, resembling the Holy of the Holies of the temple in earthly Jerusalem (Rev 21:16). That is why there will be no temple any longer in that city (Rev 21:22).
