Commentary on the Apocalypse and commentary on the Book of Daniel
Purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) in 1910
1) Apocalypse: Christ promising His Reward (Revelation 22:12-20) -- Christ cross-nimbed, book in left hand, seated on cushioned bench in mandorla supported by two nimbed angels.
2) Apocalypse: John and Angel (Revelation 22:8-9) -- Angel raising John kneeling, both nimbed; inscription fragmentary [...] ANGELUM ADORAT [...] TUUS SUM ET FRAT[...] TUORUM [...] ADORA.
3) Apocalypse: John to Seven Churches -- John nimbed, holding book, before two arcades inscribed with names of seven churches including EFESO, PERGAMO, THITHUS, SARDIS, FILADELFIE.
He said to me: "These words are entirely faithful and true." And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to reveal to his servant what must occur soon: "For behold, I am approaching quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." And I, John, after I had heard and seen, fell down in adoration before the feet of the angel. And he said to me: "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book. For the time is near. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Blessed are those who wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb, for they have a right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to these things for you among the Churches. (Rev. 22:6–16)
The Apocalypse ends with this final illustration, a reconfirmation of the original command to John to record his visions and transmit the explanations to the seven churches of Asia Minor.
