The book of the leading Russian biblicalist, Archimandrite Iannuarius Ivliev, is dedicated to the most refined from the point of view of the structure and abundance of images of the book of the New Testament - "Revelation of St. John the Theologian". The author’s task was to reveal its direct content to the reader, reflecting a specific church, political and spiritual situation in which the apostle John wrote.
From the author
"The reader will not find the interpretation of images and symbols of the apocalypse in relation to this time with his" apocalyptic" fears and eschatological expectations (However, such fears and expectations existed at all times) The task facing the author was different: to give the reader of this wonderful book of the New Testament an idea of its direct content, reflecting a specific church, political and spiritual situation in which the apostle John wrote " The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him. This task is not easy, since the Apocalypse is perhaps the most sophisticated book of the New Testament in terms of its structure and abundance of images, for understanding of which knowledge is necessary or at least acquaintance with all books of the Old Testament and not only. The world of the Apocalypse is a real sea of symbols that should not only be read, but understood and rethought. "
