Description
"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 73: Apocalypse" is the last book of the New Testament, commonly dated to about 95 AD. Written by John of Patmos, this apocalyptic prophecy addresses seven churches in Asia Minor before unveiling vivid prophetic visions. The text features symbolic imagery including a Woman clothed with the sun, a Seven-Headed Dragon, and the Beast marked by 666. Through obscure symbolism drawn from Old Testament sources, it warns early Christians about accommodation with Roman imperial culture while prophesying Christ's return.
