This version was compiled from electronic files of the

Standard Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg as

further edited by William Ross Woofenden. Pagination of

this PDF document does not match that of the

corresponding printed volumes, and any page references

within this text may not be accurate. However, most if not

all of the numerical references herein are not to page

numbers but to Swedenborg’s section numbers, which are

not affected by changes in pagination. If this work appears

both separately and as part of a larger volume file, its

pagination follows that of the larger volume in both cases.

This version has not been proofed against the original, and

occasional errors in conversion may remain. To purchase the

Editor’s Preface

This edition of Apocalypse Explained was translated by John C.

Ager and revised by John Whitehead. The text was electronically

scanned from the Swedenborg Foundation’s Standard Edition of

1911-1912. This process allowed the books to be completely reset

in a more readable typeface. It also allowed for updating certain

stylistic elements and for substituting contemporary spellings.

Arabic numbers have replaced the Roman numerals, and some of

the longer passages have been divided into paragraphs for greater

ease of reading. The Ager/Whitehead translation, however, has not

been materially altered.

Volume 5 of Apocalypse Explained continues Swedenborg’s verse-

by-verse exposition, or commentary, of the biblical text of the

Apocalypse, commonly known as Revelation or the Revelation of

John. As was the custom in his day, Swedenborg referred to the

Psalms as the book of David, and to the Pentateuch (Genesis,

Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) as the books of

Moses. In this volume Swedenborg interrupts his exposition of the

text with occasional articles, or "continuation" passages, some of

which are untitled. The contents page lists where the two major

continuations begin. These articles are added throughout

Revelation 14 and 15. Interested readers may wish to consult R. L.

Tafel’s Documents Concerning Swedenborg (London: Swedenborg

Society, 1875, 1877), volume 2, pages 984ff, for further

information about these passages.

As with previous printings, the bold numerals in brackets, [ 2 ],

[ 3 ], etc., indicate divisions of Swedenborg’s longer numbered

sections that were added for the convenience of the reader by J. F.

Potts in his six-volume Swedenborg Concordance (London:

Swedenborg Society, 1888-1902). The numbers in parentheses (6),

(7), etc., are divisions of the exposition by the author. Italicized

letters following a number (817 a, 817 b ) are subdivisions added by

the Latin editor, S. H. Worcester.

The critical notes were originally compiled by Worcester when he

edited the Latin text for a Latin-English edition of Apocalypse

APOCALYPSE EXPLAINED

2742

Explained published by the Swedenborg Foundation between 1889

and 1897. These notes were used sparingly by Whitehead in this

English edition, principally in cases where some difference in

meaning is involved. All the notes, referenced by superscripts in the

text, will be found at the end of the volume.
