Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Social Message of the Book of Revelation The Book of Revelation is one of the least used and least understood books in all the Bible. Every Bible reader recalls with gratitude a few chapters at the beginning of the book with their beautiful promises "to him that overcometh"; and every one reads a few chapters at the end of the book which tell of the heavenly city, the new Jerusalem, where there shall be no more curse or pain or death. But the book as a whole is a closed book to all but a small minority of Bible readers. To most people, this book, with the exception of the chapters to which I have referred, is a jargon of strange figures of speech - a fantastic conglomeration of beasts with men´s heads, of dragons cast into fathomless pits, of serpents casting floods out of their mouths, of locusts with the hair of women and tails like scorpions. It is a vast arena that resounds to noise of battle as trumpets sound, and seals are broken and vials are emptied. "To most people its bizarre imagery, its complicated structure, its general unintelligibility make it a gigantic riddle. It seems to them, perhaps, to form a strange anti-climax to that splendid literature of the soul which preceded it. They are at home in the Gospels and in the Epistles; but in this strange world of earthquake and eclipse, of fury and agony, of tramping armies and thundering angel-music, they are perplexed and repelled." Why is this book in the New Testament at all? What does it mean? Does it mean anything? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
