Revelation

Intrigue

Revelation (also, Apocalypse of John): the last book of the Christian bible, composed entirely of apocalyptic literature.

"An attempt to describe a spiritual reality and heavenly worship." - St. Augustine

I attended Sunday school for fourteen years and Catholic mass for several years after that. The only time the Book of Revelation was ever addressed was in a sermon one Sunday when the priest told us that being interested in Revelation meant you were turning away from Jesus and essentially, you were a bad Christian. I never really understand what it was about, aside from a a vast a vague concept of the end of the world. I wanted quite badly to learn more, but the priest made it seem as though concerning yourself at all with it was the equivalent of taking fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. And this sermon came at an age when I prayed immediately after accidentally saying the Lord's name in vain.

So now, as I explore these new boundaries and regularly take bites of forbidden fruit with no apologetic prayers, I am trying to make work which incorporates these discoveries.
