The Apocalypse Unsealed


Book Description

James M. Pryse investigates early Christianity, explaining and demystifying the Apocalypse - also called the Book of Revelation. His examination reveals what is foreseen in the ancient Biblical text. The events of the Book of Revelation are considered by Biblical scholars and believers to hold great significance, both in the historic sense and as prophecy of the church and its future. In Pryse's interpretation, the Revelation is not an unsolvable enigma, or a mystery shrouded in secrets, but a living and cogent set of predictions. The original Greek of the book, which Pryse translated to aid his investigation, is proposed to be the key to understanding its meanings. In making his case for the Apocalypse being a reflection of Greek wisdom, Pryse draws upon the philosophy of Plato and the terms of ancient Greek that describe parts of the body. Though learning these principles, an understanding of what the Apocalypse means is possible. In addition we receive instruction on Greek number theory, which Pryse uses to further unravel the New Testament text. Several charts and illustrations accompany his explanations, that the reader may arrive at the fullest understanding. A novel and original approach to one of the Bible's most famous texts, The Apocalypse Unsealed is a valuable piece of occult lore.




The Apocalypse Unsealed


Book Description

The biblical Book of Revelation is not a cryptic history or prophecy, as is generally believed, but is, in fact, a manual of spiritual development. So explains theosophist James M. Pryse in this 1919 work, which seeks to uncover the hidden significance of the most misunderstood section of the Bible and reinterpret it from a modern theosophical perspective, uncovering its esoteric relationship to other ancient texts, including the Upanishads. Pryse offers a new translation of the Apocalypse based upon undisputed meanings of the original Greek text and comments on it on a verse-by-verse basis to bring to light startling new meaning in a work that many readers will have believed fully explored. Students of comparative mythology, ancient religion, and the Bible will find this an intriguing read. American journalist JAMES MORGAN PRYSE JR. (1859-1942) helped found the Gnostic Society in Los Angeles in 1925. He is also the author of Sermon on the Mount and Other Extracts from the New Testament (1899) and Reincarnation in the New Testament (1900), among other works.

The Apocalypse Unsealed


Book Description

A Startling and Sensational Disclosure of the Secret Meanings of St. John's "Book of Revelation." THE Apocalypse is really a book within a book, a meaning concealed by symbolic language and a series of ingenious puzzles. The solution of all these puzzles is given by Mr. Pryse, and the meaning of the book, as a whole and in every detail, is explained in clear, terse language. Thus deciphered, the Apocalypse stands out as a concise, systematic treatise on THE MYSTERIES OF INITIATION. It discloses the esoteric basis of genuine Christianity. In THE APOCALYPSE UNSEALED there is no vague mysticism, theorizing, speculation, or dogmatic assertion. Its statements are backed up by convincing evidence, and rest upon sound and careful scholarship. St. John's marvelous cryptogram sweeps away the whole structure of dogmatic theology, and demonstrates what were the real teachings of the great Founder of Christianity. It is the "lost chord" of Christianity. -The Word, Vol. 24 [1916]
