Revelation and Other Prophetic Books of the Bible. St. John the Evangelist

Some view it as a prophecy of events already fulfilled, and others as a foretelling of things yet to come. Still others regard it as an expression of eternal spiritual truths, rather than specific incidents. The biblical Book of Revelation supports a variety of interpretations — and controversies — and it exerts an endless fascination on readers of every generation.This compilation features highlights from the King James edition of Revelation, along with other prophetic books of the Bible: Isaiah, which envisions the overthrow of Babylon and the restoration of Israel; Ezekiel, rich in proverbs that inspire hope and declare the certainty of a coming judgment; Daniel, in which the prophet interprets dreams and omens; and Zechariah, which assures that God is at work and planning to dwell again with his people in Jerusalem.
