Volume 1 of 2 volumes. The mysteries of Revelation are laid bare in the pages of Apocalypse Revealed. Unlike many other interpretations of Revelation, Apocalypse Revealed does not primarily recount the actual events of the Last Judgment, but explores the doctrinal concepts of the Christian Church and shows how these teachings had undermined the relationship between human beings and the Lord. Yet within this treatment of Revelation, one concept emerges clearly: the aim of the Last Judgment was not to find those who were evil and to punish them, but to find the good. Those who, in spite of what they had been taught, loved the Lord and their neighbors, rejected sins and strove to do good, were gathered in the process of judgment and formed into a new heaven. Once established in the spiritual world, this heaven will find expression on earth in the doctrine and life of the church that will develop in the wake of this judgment.
