Intrust

Revelation is often misunderstood. Its opening verses remind us it’s not a book of chaos but an unveiling from God—one revelation, not many—and worth reading with fresh eyes.

Meaning: To place something precious in someone’s personal care, not as a task but as a sacred responsibility. Contrast: Entrust → to assign a duty or responsibility Care → originally relational concern; now often reduced to task‑handling Reasonable care → a legal minimum standard to avoid blame Why it matters: The shift from intrust to reasonable care shows how our language has been hollowed over time. What was once deeply personal has become procedural. When Revelation says John was given this vision, the older sense of intrust captures the weight of what happened: he was given care over it, but not authority to change it.
