A Brief Commentary on the Apocalypse

"A Brief Commentary on the Apocalypse" by Sylvester Bliss is a mid-19th century exploration aiming to clarify the Book of Revelation's hidden meanings for Christian readers. Recognizing that the Book of Revelation is often seen as a "sealed book" filled with confusing symbolism, the author argues that it can be understood by using a framework for scriptural interpretation. The scholar references the works of others and lays out the plan for interpreting the book. By comparing scripture to scripture, the commentary is crafted to make the often perplexing teachings of the Apocalypse understandable and applicable to those who want a better understanding of Christian prophecy.
