Neither physical nor spirit beings but spiritual forces without volition-such is the discovery of this book concerning the characters in the Book of Revelation. But what are spiritual forces? How did this book arrive at this viewpoint? To explain these, this book undergoes some excruciating feat from which books on Revelation largely shy away. But this is not the only venture that this book braves. It also clenches a view that again defies most, if not all, mainstream perspectives on Revelation-that all faiths and Eastern philosophies are in the vision of John. On this ground, the book names its outlook as the universalist perspective.

Bracing its arguments with wide-ranging research on philosophy, religion, and theology, this book delivers rich, original, and highly intriguing insights, such as the problem of evil, miracle and God's omnipotence, the seven angels of Rev. 2-3, the "wrath" of God, natural theology, and more.

In the end, the book finds itself having unearthed a precious gem buried deep inside the vision: perfection in love.
