THE REVELATION OF JOHN THE THEOLOGIAN. HOMILY OF ARCHIMANDRITE IANNUARII (IVLIEV) What is the Apocalypse: a synonym for global catastrophe or good news of victory over evil?

When we recognize their sources and rich symbolic associations, we understand that they must be read for their ability to convey a message and evoke our response to this message. Foreshadowings, shadows of the eschaton, the "end times," existed even at the time of the writing of the Book of Revelation, that is, during the era of the persecutions of Emperor Domitian. They exist even today, for "the mystery of lawlessness is already at work" (2 Thessalonians 2:7). How this work manifests itself and how to resist it—this is the question for each individual Christian and for the Church as a whole…" Archimandrite Iannuarii (Ivliev) Archimandrite Iannuarii (Ivliev), author of the series of talks on the Revelation of John the Theologian, is one of the outstanding scholars of Holy Scripture, recognized not only in our country but also abroad, and a professor at the St. Petersburg Theological Schools.
