This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: in these the second 'death hath no power: but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years shall be finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go forth, and seduce the nations, which are over the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, and shall gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 And he saith to me: Write: Blessed are they, who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb: and he saith to me: These words of God are true. 10 And I fell before* his feet to adore him. And he saith to me: See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Adore God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11 And I saw heaven opened, and, behold, a white horse and he that sat upon him, was called Faithful and True; and with justice he judgeth and fighteth. 12 And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head many diadems, having a name written, which no man knoweth but himself. 13 And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD. 14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two-edged sword; that with it he may strike the Gentiles. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron and he treadeth the wine-press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 And he hath on his garment and on his thigh written : : King of kings, and Lord of lords. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that did fly through the midst of heaven: Come, and gather yourselves together to the great supper of God: CHAP.

For the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, and the Lamb. 23 And the city needeth not sun nor moon to shine in it: for the glory of God hath enlightened it: and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. The first heaven and the first earth was passed away, being changed, not as to their substance, but in their qualities. 24 And nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it. The measure of a man, i. e. According to the measure of men, and used by the angel: This seems to be the true meaning of these words. 25 And the gates thereof shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 3 And no curse shall be any more: but the throne of God, and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him. 4 And they shall see his face: and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of a lamp, nor the light of the sun; for the Lord God shall enlighten them; and they shall reign for ever and ever. 6 And he said to me: These words are most faithful and true. And the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show his servants the things which must be done shortly. 7 And, behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I John, who have heard and seen these things. And after I had heard and seen, I fell down to adore before the feet of the angel, whe showed me these things: 9 And he said to me: See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the words of the prophecy of this book: Adore God. 10 And he saith to me: Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. Į For the time is at hand. That is, when com pared to eternity, all time and temporal things vanish, and are but of short duration. As to the time when the chief predictions should come to pass, we have no certainty, as appears by the different opinions, both of the ancient fathers and late interpreters. Many think that most things set down from the fourth chapter to the end, will not be ful filled till a little time before the end of the world. Others are of opinion, that great part of them, and particularly the fall of the wicked Babylon, happen ed at the destruction of Paganism, by the destrac 15 Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and the unchaste, and murderers, and those that serve idols, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches.

Of these interpretations, see Alcazar in his long commentary, see the learned Bossuet, bishop of Meaux, in his treatise on this Book, and P. Alleman, in his notes on the same Apocalypse, tom. 12, who in his Preface says, that this, in a great measure, may be now looked upon as the opinion followed by the learned men. In fine, others think that St. John's design was in a mystical way, by 13 For I testify to every one that heareth the metaphors and allegories, to represent the attempts words of the prophecy of this book: If any man and persecutions of the wicked against the servants shall add to these things, God shall add upon him of God, the punishments that should in a short the plagues written in this book. time fall upon Babylon, that is, upon all the wicked 19 And if any man shall take away from the in general: the eternal happiness and reward, which words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take God had reserved for the pious inhabitants of Jeru- away his part out of the book of life, and out of salem, that is, for his faithful servants, after their the holy city, and from these things which are writshort trials and the tribulations of this mortal life. ten in this book. In the mean time we meet with many profitable instructions and admonitions, which we may easily enough understand: but we have no certainty, when we apply these predictions to particular events: for as St. Jerom takes notice, the Apocalypse has as many mysteries as words, or rather mysteries in *Let him hurt still.
