Revelation -- Understanding the Apocalypse

The Book of Revelation #01 This lecture is about what Revelation is not. It is not an account of a war between America and the Anti-Christ. It is not about Armageddon -- the supposed last battle at the end times, and it is not about hidden secrets or hidden teachings. This lecture is important because it sets the tone for what is to come. It equips you with the tools you need to follow along and helps adjust your vision of the book so that you can reap the many blessings promised in this Book. To do so, we harness much of what we have learned in the Catholic Foundation Library (CFL) and put it to good use. Much of what we have seen in the CFL is repeated here briefly to allow you to follow even if you have no familiarity with the four senses of scripture, the covenant, symbols in scripture, the Temple of Jerusalem, the angelic order, and other topics in the CFL. The Book of Revelation needs to be understood in the context of the whole of Scripture and this is what this study will do.
