Junior Treasure Chest Editod by MARJORIE BARROWS, Editor of Th Chitdr.n'i Hour Does "Revelation" Really FORETELL OUR FUTURE? Since the beginning of time, men have searched incessantly for the secrets of God's vast unknown. Through instinct and logic . . . through signs and omens and even crystal balls . . . they have sought to unveil the mysteries of the in finite, hoping for a positive "revelation' concerning their own ultimate destiny. Even deeply religious people are often troubled by this instinc tive urge to know "the unknow able," and in their quest they sometimes draw unwarranted con clusions even from sacred writ ing's. This is notably true of the Book of Revelation, or the Apoc alypse of St. John the Divine. The purpose of Revelation is not, as some seem to think, to reveal a detailed panorama of the future. It is not a magic key to unlock a door that God has seen fit to leave closed. It is, indeed, a book of prophecy . . . and God's Own promise... but it relates to the past and the present as well as the future. Like the other Scriptures, it is a book which must be understood in its fullness, and with a knowledge of its precise purpose and the circumstances under which it was written. The precise purpose of Revela tion is to manifest the triumph of Christ. With reference to the past, it points to Our Lord's triumph over sin and death by His life, crucifixion and resur . rection. As to the present, Revela tion makes dear that this triumph is complete only to the extent that men accept Christ's salvation and live by it. For the future.

St John addtessed his Apocalypse to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, which were, of course, the Catholic Church. Making frequent use of symbolisms, he warned the Church against enemies whom he likened to a beast, a dragon and an anti Christ The meaning of these sym bols is often misunderstood. Revelation is, indeed, a power ful message to all who look won deringly and hopefully into the great unknown. But to gain the true spiritual comfort which this God-given book offers, its precise meaning should be clearly under stood.
