The Book of Revelation is an extraordinary work and an exciting read, portraying the end of the world as we know it. In the tradition of apocalyptic literature, it abounds with visions and symbolism, cryptic signs and allusions. For example, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse represent conquest, war, famine and death, while the woman arrayed in scarlet and purple, Babylon, represents Rome and its empire. But beyond the rich web of symbolism, the ultimate message of the book is clear: a day of judgment is prophesied, when the righteous will be saved and the wicked condemned.ISBN-9781848379008
