The Revelation of St. John the Divine

The work provides a sustained interpretation of the final New Testament book, treating its visions, symbols, and numbers as a unified exposition of the kingdom of Christ rather than a timetable of future events. It reads the seven introductory letters as representative church conditions, then expounds seals, trumpets, and vials, the dragon and two beasts, Babylon, the judgment scenes, and the ultimate triumph, grounding emblems in Old Testament ritual and imagery. Emphasis falls on spiritual principles and practical application: the church’s means of advance, supernatural testimony, the nature of foes and counterfeits, and the characteristics of the ideal kingdom.
