The Book of Revelation and other scriptures of the New Testament stand in the tradition of early Jewish prophecy. While in this tradition the expectation of a total renewal in the future is significant, in the proclamation of Jesus and the Early Church the beginning of salvation is central. The Book of Revelation concentrates on the realised participation in salvation, the hope of perfection and the present time as a time of danger, of suffering and of proof. In a concealed way, all is connected with the will of God. The Book of Revelation is, in this sense, an interpretation of history and a book of comfort for Christians.
