St. John’s vision in Revelation 4 is filled with many images: a throne, 24 elders, 4 living creatures, a glassy sea, and more. What does it all mean? Plus, is there any validity to the concept of a “rapture”?

The famous “Lukewarm Laodiceans” of the Book of Revelation. It’s the last of the 7 letters of Jesus to the 7 churches — and the most powerful message for Catholics in the West.

What is the “key of David” and what does it reveal about Jesus, as well as the papacy? And what does it mean to be a pillar in the temple of God? Plus, Jesus commended the Philadelphians and did not rebuke them for anything.

Saint Paul was the ultimate evangelist. Although he wasn’t a pope, it’s fitting that many popes took his name as part of their title. Paul was the ultimate “pontifex”, or “bridge-builder” between people and God, just as God built a “bridge” to reach Paul: the Cross of Christ. St. Paul teaches us how to bring others to Jesus, just as he did.

Who gets to drink of the water of life? How can we overcome the battles we face? In Revelation 21:5 the Lord says, “Behold, I make all things new”. Cale discusses these questions and shares an inspiring story of a man in Africa who came to faith in Christ right before being martyred.

Revelation 21:1 – 8. Why does a good God allow suffering on earth? What is the life of heaven? In Revelation 21:4 we read, “he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away”.

Cale breaks down Revelation 20:11-15 and discusses the general judgment (which is different from the particular judgment). Why are there two judgments? Is there a double resurrection?

Revelation 20:11-15. God fights for His people – and you have a role to play in the drama of salvation history. Much of the apocalyptic imagery in Revelation that speaks of the return of Jesus echoes similar depictions in St. Paul’s letters.  Cale also looks at the great ‘white throne judgment’.

Revelation 20:1-10. We see a bottomless pit, the Devil being bound then let loose, and martyrs. What is the ‘thousand-year reign of Christ’? Did you know that Solomon was an exorcist?

Revelation 19:17-21. The justice of God. Cale shares the story of a modern Christian missionary, Graham Staines, who was martyred for his faith in Jesus. The reaction of Graham’s wife is a striking example of the mercy and love of God. What does the ‘thousand year reign of Christ’ refer to in Revelation 20:4?
