The Revelation of St John: A Baha'i Perspective

The Revelation of St JohnA Baha’i Study Programme

By RL Priestley

The Revelation of St John is one of the most controversial books of the Holy Bible. Populated with demons and devils, the Four Horsemen, the Beast (666), harlots and dragons most people believe it is an apocalytic vision predicting the end of the world.

Reg Priestley (1924-2012) was a Baha’i who spent 27 years researching the Revelation of St John from a personal Baha’i perspective. He believed the Revelation is both misunderstood, mistranslated and misinterpretted. His central premise is that John intended that it should be read spiritually and symbolically rather than literally.

Mistranslated - end of an age or the world?For example, in its original version John talks about the end of an age rather than the end of the world. One interpretation should inspire your Faith, the other will fill you with fear.

Misunderstood, mistranslated or misinterpretted?Palestine Policeman from 1942-1948 posted in the Holy Land. He saw first-hand the Holocaust and the birth of Israel. He spoke fluent Arabic and had unrivalled access to many of the holy sites shared by the Judaic, Christian and Islamic faiths - many still off limits to the public. He was a Freemason with deep access to esoteric understandings. And he was a travel agent who specialised in tours of the Holy Land and the Middle East. So he brings a distinct cultural perspective to this study.
