The Book of Revelation (Apocalypse of John) is the final book of the New Testament, written c. 95 AD, attributed to John of Patmos. It is a vision of cosmic conflict between good and evil, the fall of Babylon, the Second Coming of Christ, and the New Jerusalem. It is the defining text of Christian apocalypticism.
Canonical text of Christian eschatology and apocalyptic vision; establishes the symbolic vocabulary of the Beast, the Whore of Babylon, the Four Horsemen, 666, and the New Jerusalem; defines the Western imagination of endings and divine judgment.
