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.

The fifth and sixth trumpets of Revelation trigger a plague of locusts on the one hand, and the invasion of a fantastic army on the other. What does this mean?

I go on in the commentary of Revelation, Chapter 12 with a battle between angels in heaven and the Dragon's attack agains the Woman. Texts from other parts of the Bible help us to interpret them.

Commentary of chapter 7 of Revelation: the 144.000 who receive a protective seal and the great multitude. Are they the same group seen from two different points of view or are they the same group?

The fifth and sixth seals are very different from the first four ones. Who are those souls under the altar crying for judgement? What is the meaning of the (apparent) cosmic catastrophe happening at the breaking of the sixth seal?

At the beginning of Chapter 6, the Lamb breaks the first four seals of the book taken from the Father's hand. Then four horsemen come out. What do they symbolize?

In chapter 5 of Revelation, the Lamb is introduced as the main christological symbol for Jesus. The Lamb is the only one found worthy to take the sealed scroll from the Father's hand. What is the meaning of the scroll?

Chapter 4 of Revelation offers a beautiful symbolic description of heaven in which all the details are significant. The adoration of God by the saints is highlighted.

This conference begins the commented reading of the book of Revelation with verses 1-16 of chapter 1: the beginning of Revelation, the address and greeting to the recipients, and John's inaugural vision of the risen Christ.

This final introductory lecture on Revelation, in the “The Apocalypse for Dummies" cycle, tackles a tricky problem: that of violence in Revelation. Why are there violent images in this book? Is it really compatible with the rest of the New Testament, especially the Gospels?

This lecture presents the main theme of Revelation, namely the new (spiritual) exodus of God's people. The Church must leave “Babylon” and head for the heavenly Jerusalem.
