Opis

The revelations of Almighty God to Saint John the Evangelist have been long a topic of interest to Christians. This work is an excellent discussion of these revelations and their meaning to the Church founded by Jesus Christ. Anyone who wishes to understand the events unfolding before us today needs to read this book on the Apocalypse and its prophecies. What are the seven churches? Which church are we in? What about the two witnesses and of course, many wonder about Antichrist. Preface The book of the Apocalypse is unlike any other book of the New Testament and is full of consolation and instruction to all who read its inspired and prophetic words. It lifts the soul up to the beauty and grandeur of Heaven shows us in all their glory the joys and triumphs of those who were once like our selves but who are now changed and happy with those; "who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." How consoling it is to turn from the sordid things of earth to be carried away with the sublime words that lead us to the throne of God to the company of the Angels and Saints to the new Jerusalem with streets of gold to the river and tree of life to hear the voice of God Himself saying "Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book." The following pages will be most interesting to those who love to study the word of God. Father Berry has entered a new field for there is practically no study of the Apocalypse in the English language and the points and explanations he has placed before us are both interesting and instructive. The student will read it with pleasure and profit. St. Jerome tells us "The Apocalypse has as many mysteries as words or rather mysteries in every word." The author has tried in a simple scholarly way to help us view them all with pleasure and understanding. JAMES J. HARTLEY, Bishop of Columbus. Columbus, Ohio, June 18th, 1921.
