Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Arrayed With the Sun
This Revelation Of Truth through John did not find either his ear or his heart absent turned - from the Christ. He was indeed a Blessed John, a Divine John, when all personality was swept from his consciousness, leaving for him but the house empty, swept, and gar nished, since he was then fully cognizant Of the lesson which his own experience alone had taught him.
He had not only heard the Word, but he had also lived it, and was now declaring to others, by means Of symbols, the Story of Life as it re vealed itself through him. This Story, in order to express itself directly, should be quickly told, and he therefore aptly chose from the signs, which man himself Offered him, those which would reveal to man the One Sign Of Heaven, God, the Creative Principle, Which he, John, termed Woman. As typical of characteristics, representing nations as well as qualities, Wom an had served as a Judaic symbol. Doubtless for this reason John employed that term to which his own race Was accustomed when he selected Woman as the Symbol Of the Creative Power. Nevertheless, this same sign had Often reversed the meaning Of Life with his people.
