| Summary | "The Revelation of St. John the Divine: An Interpretation" by A. H. Ames is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This work explores the last book of the New Testament, focusing on the interpretations of the symbols and themes found within the Revelation. It aims to clarify the spiritual significance of the text, particularly in relation to the kingdom of Christ and the role of the Church throughout history. The opening of the commentary sets the stage by emphasizing the author's conviction that the Revelation is not merely a prophetic account of historical events or future predictions, but a profound reflection on the kingdom of Christ as understood through the Old Testament teachings and direct revelations to John. Ames outlines his interpretive approach, which includes a careful examination of the structure of the book, the necessity of Old Testament references, and the significance of numbers within the text. He discusses the letters to the seven churches as representative of the spiritual state of the Church, urging readers to see the relevance of these messages both for the Church of John's time and for individual believers today.
