These five verses from Revelation chapter 10 seem particularly harsh: how can Christ slaughter his enemies in this way? The key to understanding them lies in the symbolic dimension of the images, which should not be taken literally.

Commentary on Revelation chapter 19, verses 1 to 16. This passage first describes the rejoicing of the saints in heaven after the destruction of Babylon, then presents Christ mounted on a white horse and leading the armies of heaven into battle.

Chapter 18 of Revelation is a long lament about Babylon, struck by God's judgment, destroyed by fire and brimstone. This chastisement answers the prayer of the martyrs of the fifth seal (Rev 6), and its depiction is shaped by various Old Testament prophetic texts.

Chapter 13 is one of the most amazing and powerful passages of Revelation. The dragon raises a first beast to which it gives its authority. The inhabitants of the earth are amazed and worship the beast. Then a false prophet organizes an idolatrous liturgy in honor of the beast.

Chapter 12 of Revelation is one of the most well known chapters of the Apocalypse, yet the symbolic image of the woman is not easy to interpret: does she represent the Church? or Mary, mother of Jesus?

Commentary on Rev 11:1-8, with the measurement of the Temple and the episode of the two Witnesses. This is a very important passage for the overall understanding of Revelation. I have to correct a mistake I made at 19:33 : in Zechariah 4 the high priest's name is not Simon but Joshua.

In chapter 10 of Revelation a powerful angel descends from heaven, holding a little open scroll which he gives to John to eat. The prophet must assimilate the message, which he must then pass on.
