Book of Revelation
 | This article does not cite any sources; the information may not be accurate or reliable. |
The Book of Revelation is the last book of the Christian Bible, also known as the "Revelation of St. John" or "Apocalypse of St. John". This book was supposedly written during revelatory visions, presumably from a divine source, to St. John "The Divine", shortly after the crucifixion of Jesus. St. John is said to be the same John who was one of the twelve disciples,[citation needed] but this is presumably uncertain. The most well-known images from these visions include various strange beasts, the city of the future, and so on. Large parts of the book appear to deal with eschatology, that is, prophecies about "end times".
In talks recorded in Some Answered Questions, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá interprets symbols and prophecies given in the Book of Revelation, particularly the eleventh and twelfth chapters of Revelation.[1]
