Revelation

Treated in 389 passages across the library.

The last book of the Bible, the revelation of Jesus Christ given to John in exile on the island of Patmos. It opens with letters from Christ to seven churches, then shows the throne of God, the Lamb that was slain, and visions of judgment on the world and the defeat of evil. It closes with the new heaven and new earth, where God wipes away every tear, and the promise "Surely I come quickly."
