{"product_id":"apocalypse-the-book-of-the-end","title":"APOCALYPSE - THE BOOK OF THE END","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe  book  of  Revelation  Ð  the  Apocalypse  of  St.  John  the  Theologian  Ð  has remained  a  sealed  book  until  the  beginning  of  our  most  apocalyptic  of  epochs. Its  glorious  and  terrifying  images  have  impressed  themselves  on  the  minds  of generations  of  Christians,  and  its  triumphant  hope  of  the  ultimate  victory  of good  over  evil  has  comforted  the  hearts  of  many  fighters  for  the  truth.  Alone, however,  among  the  books  of  the  New  Testament,  it  has  no  generally  accepted interpretation,  no  exegetical  Òconsensus  of  the  FathersÓ.  In  fact,  it  is  the  only part  of  the  New  Testament that is not read publicly at some time in the liturgical year  of  the  One,  Holy,  Catholic  and  Apostolic  Church. 1It  is  sealed  in  the  sense that  it  is  not  read  in  church,  and  also  in  the  sense  that  its  meaning  remains shrouded  in mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe  Study  of the  Book:\u003cbr\u003e\nAnd yet the  book itself  beckons  us,  encouraging  us  to  penetrate  the  mystery. Blessed  is  he  that  readeth,  and  they  that  hear  the  words  of  this  prophecy,  and keep those  things  which  are  written  therein;  for  the  time  is  at  hand  (1.3).  And again:  Behold,  I  come  quickly:  blessed  is  he  that  keepeth  the  sayings  of  the prophecy of this  book...  Seal  not  the  sayings  of  the  prophecy  of  this  book;  for the time is  at hand  (22.7, 10).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44261591122081,"sku":"upcabc639","price":54.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/5nemd2-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1713936296","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/apocalypse-the-book-of-the-end","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
