After "The Revelation to John" (the writing of God) was edited as one part of the New Testament, about 2000 years had already passed. Sincc "this writing of God" is very difficult to understand and people have continued having great interest in "The Nostradamus's Prophets," many people hardly paid attention to this writing. Therefore, up to the present time, humankind has been unable to understand the true meaning which the contents have. And I think that many men have read this Revelation, thinking it was one fancy tale. However, the end of the 20th century when I am writing this book, is just before "the time" in the plan of God, and this book will remove the thick veil, and will make the whole image of the Revelation clear, and it will bring very important information for humankind.

　2000 years ago, God prepared "The Revelation to John" for humankind in the present age, however, this writing is a severe warning to humankind. Namely this is the Revelation about the crisis of humankind's fate, but on the other hand, this will prove the actual existence of God to people, give a compass to them in the darkness of chaos, and promise a bright future to humankind. Namely, this Revelation is also "the manifestation of mercy, which God sent to humankind."

　The Revelation has suggested that various catastrophes will occur repeatedly and they will continue for some dozens of years. That is, they are convulsions of nature, such as great earthquakes, submersion of lands, the pole shift, and annihilation of the big cities in the world represented by the great City of New York, furthermore, famines, epidemics, wars, the communist revival, the appearance of dictators, and the collapse of the United States style of capitalism, etc. The time of the present is just before the climax. If you consider both the contents of the Revelation and the situations in the world as of A.D. 1997, probably, it turns out the climax should come within several years or ten years. And these catastrophes and disturbances of war will continue until all humankind notices the Existence of God and awakens to man's essence. "You humankind are not yet awake to the True World. When are you going to wake up?" God is surely looking at man with such thoughts.

　Man's essence is spirit and it has eternal life, therefore in the mind of God, the corporal death or "the first death" (the word "the second death" appears in the Revelation) is only one page of the long history on the transmigration of souls. Without God is attached to a temporary sentiment which man on earth tends to have, in order to orient humankind in the right direction for evolution, God made the great decision. God has made the plan in order to ruin the materialism, which is flowing in the present civilization and is very wrong, in order to create again "the new civilization, which makes spiritualism the basis," for humankind in the world on earth.

　Although I have heard that there is the prophecy about the Savior's birth in the Old Testament, the prophecy about the birth of "the next Savior" who will follow Jesus Christ, exists in this Revelation as a clear figure. When the dark world comes, he will appear gradually as the great light, and those who can notice his existence are happy. When Jesus was in this world, those who were able to notice his existence and believed in him were few. It is the historical fact and the lesson that the evaluation of Jesus was established gradually, being passed down through several 100 years after his death. While a Savior is alive, the new standard of values and the new thoughts which he preaches are not necessarily accepted by many people. In fact, this is very difficult, because the new standard of values or the new thoughts are what gradually increases the brightness as a time passes.

　Although the whole Revelation consists of 22 chapters, most readers can hardly understand the whole image, only by reading the Revelation briefly. The first reason is that the Revelation does not have titles showing the contents of each chapter, and many strange words and methods of expression are used in those descriptions. In this point, both the English translation of the original text and the Japanese translation are the same. The second reason is that the readers could not deepen their understanding of matters such as the deep meaning which words and phrases have, the contents which various visions suggest, and "the love and the mercy" of God. For these two reasons, up to now, the readers have hardly understood this Revelation.

　If "The Revelation to John" is "the writing of God" truly, the whole image must be constituted with harmony, moreover, when it is compared with present-day science and the reality, the contents must be explained by orderly logic. These Prophets are the mosaic drawing that was skillfully camouflaged by the hand of God, and if you turn the mosaic of words and phrases over pertinently, the harmonious grand panorama will appear vividly in your mind. Probably, nobody will be able to prove that the explanation of this book is right, however, the panorama, which will appear, should prove that.

　In Part 1, I have explained some important themes, and in Part 2, have given the notes and explanations about all the texts that constitute the Revelation. The point which I want to emphasize is that I analyzed and explained this Revelation, always keeping "the spiritual viewpoint" in mind. Consequently, it should become clear that this Revelation was prepared for "the hour, the day, the month, and the year." (This phrase is the words of the suggestion, which appears in the text [9-15].)

　In addition, the prophet means the one who catches the will of God through the spiritual wave motion. The result in which he changed God's will into words or sentences which man can understand is the Revelation or the Prophecy. Therefore, the true prophet is the angel who was given the mission from God and has been sent into the world on earth. In this book, I have used the words the Revelation and the Prophecy to mean the definitions mentioned above.

　As for the original text of the Revelation in this book, I adopted it from the "New Testament" 1975 edition published by the Japan Bible Society. In Part 1, each chapter shows the classification for each theme, and in Part 1 and 2, the number (the example [1-9]) expresses the chapter and the clause in the original text. Moreover, after taking the contents of the Revelation into consideration, I temporarily named the title of each chapter of the original text in Part 2.
