Synopsis

This book argues that the final book of the Bible, the Apocalypse, explores how God will illuminate the world with truth and knowledge. The Apocalypse has long perplexed readers, but the author argues that it should be understood as a coherent prophecy of a time when truth will vanquish ignorance and evil. To support this bold claim, the author delves into the first section of the Apocalypse, exploring the seven letters to seven churches, which collectively represent the state of the Church in the world. The author claims that when the reader understands these letters as symbols, rather than literal descriptions, they reveal a timeline of Church history, leading to a future time of great enlightenment. The book draws on a wealth of scriptural knowledge, history, and meticulous exegesis to present a compelling interpretation of one of the most challenging texts in the Bible. If the author is right, the Apocalypse is not a vision of doom and gloom but rather a thrilling promise that truth and knowledge will ultimately prevail.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Scripture seems, as a matter of course, only another display of foolhardiness. We ought, however, not to permit ourselves to feel thus, or to treat with cold distrust any honest endeavor to find out what the Revelation means. It is not necessary to find the North Pole, but it is necessary for the Church to understand the A pocalypse. t was given that it might be understood understood sufficiently to bring it within the description of all Scripture which is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. The man of God is not furnished as he ought to be until he knows more about the A pocalypse. No matter how many investigators have failed, new investigators should attempt the problem until it is solved. They should be encouraged rather than discouraged. Some day a Columbus will find his New World, and then the kingdom of heaven will be richer by the addition of a much-needed continent to its territory. There is another reason for striving and praying to find out the true meaning of the A pocalypse. While it remains not understood, it is certain to be so misunderstood as to continue what it has long been, the prolific source of pestilent misconceptions and most hurtful heresies. Until some one tells what the book means, and how its symbols are to be taken, they will remain the fruitful materials out of which every dreamer and enthusiast will fashion his inventions at his will.
