Who is the beast in Revelation? What does the number 666 mean? Who are the four horsemen of the apocalypse? Who is the author of Revelation? When was it created? Where will be the battle of the judgment day? And when? This book contains the answers to these questions.
Events and visions are connected in a clear and logical explanation that corresponds with known historical events. This book is a rational and reasoned interpretation based on the analysis of the text within the book of Revelation itself and its comparison with other religious systems, written with the aim of offering essential answers.

“The book is a genuine interpretation of John’s book of Revelation. It is written very well, presenting in detail all the philosophical and historic-cultural trends within which Revelation can be understood better.”
—Adalbert Rebić, professor of biblical sciences, University of Zagreb
“This is an interesting book by a brave author, who committed himself to the hard task of solving one of the most mystical enigmas—the matter of the true sense and meaning of John’s book of Revelation. His thesis is genuine, his approach is critical and consistently scientific, his method is strictly historic, and the result is a book of interdisciplinary character. By this alone, the book stands out among studies dedicated to the book of Revelation.”
—Slavomir Sambunjak, professor of Croatian and Slavic studies, University of Zadar
“I recommend this interesting book to professionals and the general public with full confidence that they will find in it well-argued answers to the questions that researchers have been trying to answer for over two millennia. The book is scientifically argued and can supplement the traditional image of the first Christian community and the way it observed the political reality in which it was immersed and in which it created its religious expression.”
—Dževad Zečić, chair of mathematics and informatics, University of Zenica
