John the theologian became famous not only as a companion of Christ, but also as the author of the Apocalypse, in which he predicted the fate of the world. The “Revelation” of John the Theologian, the most mysterious of the books included in the Bible, has been arousing mystical interest for many centuries. Each new generation interprets it in its own way, believing that the wars, revolutions and famines that befell them were predicted by the Apocalypse. This book tells about the earthly life of the Evangelist and Apostle John, his predictions of the second coming of Christ, the Last Judgment and the end of the world. Contemporaries recognized Stalin and Gorbachev in the Antichrist; they guessed the Chernobyl disaster in the star Wormwood.
