VIDEO: “The Christ of the Apocalypse"
"Contemplating the Faces of Jesus in the Book of Revelation."
St. John’s Vision of the New Jerusalem
St. John’s Portrait of Christ in the Book of Revelation
I invite you to watch this hour-long video: The Christ of the Apocalypse, produced by the National Catholic Broadcasting Council.
These talks are based on my book: The Christ of the Apocalypse: Contemplating the Faces of Jesus in the Book of Revelation. Far beyond images of the “Four Horsemen,” “the Antichrist,” “the Number of the Beast,” and “the Battle of Armageddon,” the Apocalypse is – from start to finish – a Revelation of Jesus Christ, who will return in glory at the end of time to usher in a New Heaven and a New Earth.
As I examine St. John’s complex portrait of Jesus Christ in this video, I offer some reflections on a number of questions:
How do we interpret the Apocalypse?
Do we interpret St. John literally?
Is the Apocalypse about the End of the World?
Or is it about the beginning of a New Creation?
Finally, I offer some reflections on the relevance of St. John’s message of hope in our postmodern, post-truth and post-human world.
Throughout, St. John calls us to give brave witness to the truth of the Gospel and so to begin even now to become a New Creation in Christ.
For ours is the God who makes “all things new”. (Rev. 21:5)
“Jesus Walks Among the 7 Golden Lampstands” (Rev. 1:12-16)
