Revelation
Revelation has 22 chapters. Read Revelation in the World English Bible (Catholic), chapter by chapter, free and without an account.
Revelation presents visions of God’s rule, the victory of Jesus Christ as the Lamb, judgment on evil, and the renewal of creation. Addressed to seven churches, it calls for repentance, faithful witness, and endurance. Its symbolic scenes culminate in the defeat of death and a new Jerusalem where God dwells with his people.
