Apokalypsis Iōannou; The Revelation of John

Japanese: ヨハネの黙示録 - ヨハネのもくしろく(英語表記)Apokalypsis Iōannou; The Revelation of John
Apokalypsis Iōannou; The Revelation of John
The last book of the New Testament. Apokalypsis is synonymous with revelation. The story is centered around a vision of Jesus Christ as a revelation conveyed to John, and was addressed by John to seven churches in Asia Minor. John conveys various images to the Christian church, which is under persecution from the Roman Empire, and prophesies the fall of Babylon (Rome), the second coming of Christ, the final victory of the Christian church, i.e., Christ's 1,000-year rule, the decisive defeat of Satan, the final judgment, and the appearance of a new heaven and earth, and preaches to strengthen hope and overcome suffering. The concluding words, "Come, Lord Jesus," strongly express hope for the second coming of Jesus Christ as the alpha and omega, the bright morning star. The author is unclear.

新約聖書最後の書。 Apokalypsis (黙示) は啓示と同義。内容はヨハネに伝えられたイエス・キリストの啓示としての幻視を中核とする物語で,ヨハネから小アジアの7つの教会へあてられている。ヨハネはローマ帝国の迫害にさらされているキリスト教会に対し,さまざまなイメージを伝えつつ,バビロン (ローマ) の陥落,キリストの再臨,キリスト教会の最後的な勝利即キリストの 1000年の支配,サタンの決定的な敗北,最後の審判,新しい天と地との出現を預言し,希望を固くし苦しみを克服するように説いている。「主イエスよ,来りませ」という結びの言葉にはアルファであり,オメガである輝く明けの明星としてのイエス・キリストの再臨への希望が強く表明されている。著者ははっきりわかっていない。
