Description
The book of Revelation written by Saint John has been for many years misinterpreted and has been cause for many myths, fictions and legends. In this work by Father Sylvester Berry he explained it as it should be as the "Revelation of Jesus Christ", He is the center of the book according to the Covenant. The book of the Apocalypse or Revelation is a prophetic book but first it should be understand what a prophecy is? It is a message of God to his people not to predict destruction necessarily, is to announce possible consequences if the Covenant with God is broken. John wrote this book during the great persecutions to the church by the Imperial Rome, for the Christians were not worshiping Cesar but God. John consoled and encouraged them in a symbolic language that was common for their time. Father Sylvester explains all of Saint John's visions and the symbology in them without sensationalism but based on scripture and inside the covenant with God. In Father Berry words: "These revelations also predict the great persecution of Antichrist whose near approach is foreshadowed by many signs; yet we know that the Church will at length triumph over the powers of hell and reign peacefully over all nations." This is a book of hope, also easy to read for the souls that want to know about the Truth of this final book of the bible and the Final Judgement.
