That the Apocalypse of John is a “Revelation of Jesus Christ” (Rev 1:1) is a fact too often overlooked by interpreters of this last book of the Bible. As Msgr. A. Robert Nusca’s The Christ of the Apocalypse: Contemplating the Faces of Jesus in the Book of Revelation proposes, beyond predictions of earthquakes and falling stars, St. John articulates from start to finish a multifaceted and compelling portrait of Jesus Christ. Nusca offers an exegetical reading of selected verses of the Book of Revelation, incorporating rich spiritual and pastoral reflections. The Christ of the Apocalypse above all affirms that St. John’s God- and Christ-centered, symbolic universe offers our contemporary world a spiritual place to stand amid the shifting sands of postmodernity. As Cardinal Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, writes in his Foreword, “Now, as in the first century, Christians face martyrdom, and those who are not called to die for Christ are called to live for Christ in a world which in many ways rejects the Gospel. More than ever, we need the apocalyptic vision, to have our own vision of reality clarified, and to be strengthened in our evangelical witness.”

"Apocalypse" means revelation, unveiling, or appearing. The Book of Revelation is about Jesus, not about the antichrist. The Bible says these things will happen shortly, and the translation implies that they will happen quickly. Yes, the antichrist will appear, and yes, the earth will go into great tribulation, but our focus must be on the quick work Jesus will do bringing an end to this evil and the fact that we shall finally see Jesus as He is. Jesus was very clear about how to prepare for His second coming and the tribulation that would precede this event. The focus of this book is not on the evils and suffering of the tribulation, but on the only straightforward truth we need to know in order to overcome: the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this fresh, scriptural look at Jesus' return you will: *Discover the spiritual history of the world. *Understand how we have reached this place of darkness in world history. *Find out how religion took such a hold on the minds of the entire world. *Identify the spirit that is at work in the world and in the Church. *Understand the workings of Mystery Babylon. *Identify the apostate religion, the false christ, and the false prophet. *Learn the only way to prepare for what lies ahead. Unlike anything you have ever read about the return of Jesus. This book will end your confusion and fear, build your faith, and put on the mind of an overcomer!

In Meditations of the Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation has finally become "declassified" and made accessible. By recognizing the astrological origin of Revelation's symbology, Barnwell found the key to deciphering its hidden message, offering a perspective that is instructive and liberating. Thanks to this unveiling, we can now make sense of the iconic images that characterize Revelation-the Sun-clothed Woman in labor, the Four Horsemen, the number 666, the Antichrist, and more. Following Barnwell's methodical exposition, we discover Revelation to be, not about the end of the world, but about humanity's enduring struggle to transform consciousness to a higher level.
