Is there a book of the Bible more often discussed and yet less
understood than the Book of Revelation? The “seven seals.” The
“dragon.” The “beast.” The “sea of glass.” The fantastic imagery found
in the Book of Revelation has long captivated Christians but remains
mysterious to many. In the midst of so much discussion about the end
times, what does Revelation teach us about living in the present
moment, with our eyes focused on the heavenly Jerusalem?
Michael Barber’s latest book, Coming Soon, explores these
questions by taking a detailed look at Revelation and its rich tapestry
of prophecy, history, and biblical allusion. Barber explores the
profound link between the Mass celebrated here on earth and the eternal
reality of heaven, demonstrating that the Apocalypse reveals truth that
has practical implications for today and points to a firm hope in
tomorrow.
Coming Soon is a verse-by-verse commentary on the Book of
Revelation using the Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition of the
Bible. Barber provides a Catholic interpretation, which sees the
liturgical background of this book of Scripture—a perspective missing
in many Protestant commentaries.
