The Book of Destiny: An Open Statement of the Authentic and Inspired Prophecies of The Old and New Testament

By Herman B. Kramer

Book Overview

The title chosen for this book sets forth the contents of the inspired message revealed to St. John, the Apostle. It is a summing up of the prophetical work in the Bible by the Holy Spirit and a revelation of the Great Causes shaping future history which will constitute the destiny of mankind. This destiny will be created and developed by man's free will. It is the Book of Destiny, because it shows forth the destiny of the whole human race. It is building up now and will grow until the Day of Judgment. This building up began with the renewed persecution of the Christians by Trajan after the benign lull under the Emperor Nerva. The Apocalypse received its name from the first word of these revelations. Whether St. John gave it this name or not cannot be established. The secrets of the future written in this book have mystified and intrigued the minds of the most inquisitive for nineteen hundred years. St. Vincent Ferrer five hundred years ago and St. Bernardine of Siena a half a century later threatened their hearers with the judgments enumerated in the Apocalypse, but their words were not well heeded. Yet the FIRST WOE was averted from the countries which they evangelized. For a hundred years now the secrets have been quite openly expressed and written about, though with some uncertainty and misgivings, but have not been noticed by the world. In the meantime events have succeeded with increasing speed and growth towards a denouement of the secrets of the GREAT WORLD DRAMA so long wrapped up in mysterious visions. Any day may flash upon the consciousness of men the DESTINY towards which mankind is hastening.

Epic Book on the Apocalypse

This is the greatest commentary ever written on the Apocalypse! It is a brilliant and thorough treatment of the symbolism and themes of the Book of Revelation. It is a monumental effort that took over 30 years, and is filled with material that explains broad strokes of Church History since the Acts of the Apostles. A subsequent commentary "The Apocalypse- Letter by Letter" by Steven Paul (2006) is based on this book by Fr. Kramer.

A Definitive Commentary on The Apocalypse

Far from being another commentary that interprets the Book of The Apocalypse as a literal text, Father Kramer demonstrates that he has found the symbolic key to understanding the mysteries of the holy scripture. He even predicted the threat of Islam as far back as the 1940s and shows how it is symbolized in St. John's Vision. I have studied the Book of Apocalypse since I was fifteen and have nevber come across a commentary as complete as this. Get this book.

Supplement to the Book of the Apocalypse

Have you ever read the last book of the Bible (known Traditionally as the Book of the Apocalypse) and wondered what all the symbolism means? Well, you need not wonder any longer as Rev. Fr. Kramer has unlocked many of the mysteries surrounding the symbolism through his extensive amount of studies.It becomes frighteningly clear that we are living under these signs and that the Catholic Church holds the key to what lies ahead for the world. Don't waste another minute trying to figure out what the Four Horses, the Seven Trumpets, etc. mean. Fr. Kramer has done all the work for us already.

Review from the Publisher

THE BOOK OF DESTINY. Fr. H.B. Kramer spent over 30 years compiling this fantastic and frightening interpretation of the Apocalypse, which he took from the writings of The Fathers of The Church. Read how Red Communism is the scourge of God on sinful nations; who was given the "keys" of Hell, who the sun, the moon and the stars are. Weep at the apostasy of Rome when she overthrows the Vatican-Papacy. Read of her awesome fate for becoming the "Great Harlot" Understand why one-third of the human race will die in the Third World War. Do the Fathers say what the mark of the Beast will be? What does the number 666 mean? When do Enoch and Elias enter the drama? WHEN - WHY do we lose the Sacrifice of the Mass? For priests and laity alike. A great spiritual gift for all. 520pp. PB. Imprimatur.
