No other book in the Bible has so captured the imagination of both ancients and moderns as the Apocalypse, known also as the Book of Revelation. Its Johannine authorship was established to the satisfaction of many authorities from early Church history, including Justin Martyr, Papias, Origen and Clement. By the third century its authorship and canonicity were well established to the Church Fathers.

In both the secular world and the various (and spurious) "denominations" of people who claim to be of Christian faith, the characters, incidents and images from the Apocalypse have been marshaled in support of many bizarre notions. It is not a book that one can read and understand without a great deal of context, context that is supplied not simply by ample study time, but by adhering to the uncorrupted meaning of the Apostle's numerous revelations. The sad truth of our modern age is that the majority of teachings propounded about the Apocalypse among people who claim to be part of the Catholic Church, are as incorrect as every Protestant interpretation.

What is the truth about the meaning of the Apocalypse?
The ...
... truth about the Apocalypse must be understood in the context of true Catholic teaching. The problem is, there is very little of this information available today, and none of it proceeds any longer from the historical capital of the faith, Rome. The most damaging, most destructive religious schism of the ages, in fact, was not the Lutheran rebellion against apostolic authority many hundreds of years ago, but the hushed-up revolution of Vatican II of much more recent vintage. Only the traditions that lasted nearly 2000 years, the traditions and teachings of the unsullied Church, can prepare one's mind for the truth of any Scriptures, including those of the Apocalypse.

Many more people use the term "Whore of Babylon" today than actually know what it means. For some, it is simply a slightly off-color riposte, when in fact it has a distinct and powerful meaning. Many Protestants draw precisely the opposite conclusion about this than they should. Since the apostasy of Rome's Vatican II cabal is clearly articulated in the Apocalypse, this is evidence in favor of the Church's authenticity. As the Scripture makes clear, the last days are filled with the deception of the truly faithful and attacks on the true, original Faith.

How to study
Again, one cannot hope to make sense of these Scriptures without being fully immersed in the truth of the Christian faith as held firm for 20 centuries by the Church that was subverted by Vatican II. Any other type of study - no matter how scholastic, no matter how deep, no matter how lengthy - will not result in any sort of understanding that will bind you to the true Church or, in fact, to God. Some claim that the Apocalypse is difficult to understand. But most people have a lifetime of bad teaching which is the main issue clouding a true understanding of the Apocalypse.

An additional proof of Catholicism as the one true religion is found in the Scriptures that speak of a "snare" that will entrap believers in confusion. If the snare is the counterfeit Roman structure, then the "prey" that the devil is after would be the followers of Traditional Catholicism. This adds even greater weight and urgency to the need for all people who care about the truth to return to the proper pre-Vatican II teachings and discover what will really happen "in the end times."

The way forward
When they get the right Scriptural evidence presented in the right context, Catholics can be strengthened in their opposition to the Vatican II Church and the many heretical teachings, encyclicals and Scriptural interpretations that emanate therefrom. Biblical prophecies, correctly explained and contextualized, will open the eyes of those willing to see the truth and bring them to a full understanding of what God says about the events of the past half century.

The study of the Apocalypse is integral to this effort, as this book describes the false resistance to the apostasy that is undertaken by some who still adhere to the Vatican II Church while opposing some of its novelties. Even as some of them seem to decry the base maneuverings and heretical efforts of Vatican II, most continue to stay in spiritual union with the "harlot" (false church) in a fraudulent and dangerous display of "loyal opposition." This confuses the fallen harlot with the Immaculate Bride of Christ, and is nothing but another smokescreen to deceive believers.

The truth is not easy for many to hear, but neither is it difficult to accept once you have been brought to a correct understanding of the Scriptures and traditions of the true Church. Playing with Hollywood's version of the antichrist, or buying into the fantasy of the Vatican II sect, are both guaranteed to get you in trouble, of the most serious (and eternal) kind. If you turn to the truth, and learn what the Vatican II functionaries don't want you to know, you can put yourself on the right path. Stay hungry for the truth, and God will supply it. You have His many, many promises on this, and He will not lie.
