The phrase metV evmou used in the Book of Revelation has two subjects. The first is Jesus, who submit to a man a proposition to create relationship (Rev 3:4.20.21), the second one – a man, who receive news as directed to him (Rev 1,12; 4,1; 10,8; 17,1; 21,9). Mediations of God’s presence (Rev 10,8; 17,1; 21,9) don’t make any problem for perception. The space of communication between God and a man constitutes the intimacy, confidence and protection, and courage to realize God’s order (Rev 1:12) and fight to everyday problems (Rev 3:4). The accent on the aspect of interchange (Rev 3:20f) confirms the quality of that relationship for God and establishes liberty and authenticity of that discuss (peripate,w metV evmou – Rev 3:4). The propose of common dinner, because of deipne,w (Rev 3:20) put the intimacy in the context of Eucharist. The author join metV evmou with promises for conquerors (Rev 3:21) and in that’s way remind the covenantal declaration (Rev 21:3) and announce son’s dignity (Rev 21:7). Such founded the intimacy give a chance to fight with any kind of a pressure and a distress – so it is the aim of the Book of Revelation.
