This book uncovers what the apocalyptic writings in the Bible were aiming to reveal about God’s action in the world in the age when they were composed. It encourages us to think how their message might be interpreted for people of faith in the present age, which is facing threats at least as serious as those which seemed about to overwhelm believers, whether Jewish or Christian, at the time the apocalyptic texts were written. What is important is the message of hope which accompanies the proclamation of Divine Judgement. Jesus repeatedly urges his disciples to be alert to the signs of the times and to endure steadfastly whatever disasters and betrayals those times may bring.
