Introduction
The Book of Revelation is the last to be written and final
book of the Holy Bible. Its promise "to reveal" the second
advent, our resurrection in Christ, is why this manuscript
has attracted so much interest beyond the fold of orthodox
believers--especially since the "new age" enthusiasts took
it to their own level of interpretation, misinterpretation,
and whatever they could do to adapt it to their own dogmas.
As the Christian reader peruses my interlinear translation
from the Latin Vulgate, emphasis on the present-tense will
not go unnoticed. Familiar phrases like "Christ is risen!"
are exemplary of how the past participle "has" is conveyed
in the perfect mood or tense of the verb to the benefit of
the reader's comprehension of the activity being described.
Redundant expressions like "this was to be", "it is to be",
"he is coming to be", while archaic, emphasize continuance
of events in their dynamic setting, and their far-reaching
consequences & contextual pertinence to the subject matter.
The astrological precepts set forth in my first four books
are essential to the study of the Apocalypse. The analysis
presented hereinbelow of the translation given hereinabove
uses astrological terminology as defined and charted in my
preceding work. That way, I can keep my commentary concise,
and I can only advise the reader to become better informed.

Rather than quote chapter & verse, I cite chapter #'s only.
Notably, Edgar Cayce gave readings on the Revelation which
I'm bound to quote brief excerpts from where they are help-
ful to understanding this highly symbolic book of prophecy.
I've always felt adamant that Cayce's readings ought to be
released entirely to the public domain. Prophecy is not to
be kept hidden in a vault, but to be shouted from rooftops.
Whether or not it's understood by those hearing it, that's
another matter. I present this book for the discerning ear.
