This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the midrashic character and principles inherent in the visions of John, as presented in the Book of Revelation. Through a comparative analysis with midrashic traditions, the book sheds light on the unique qualities and interpretive methods underlying John's prophetic visions. It also provides readers with a fresh translation and commentary on Revelation chapters 21 and 22. While John's visions are typically categorized within the apocalyptic genre, this book argues for a midrashic approach, which can help to recontextualize the text and offer new perspectives. Embracing the midrashic viewpoint can encourage environmentalism and emphasize stewardship of the planet, as the new Jerusalem is depicted as a home for the future. Additionally, this approach facilitates the integration of both Jewish and Christian depictions of the heavenly Jerusalem, challenging the traditional scholarly notion of a "parting of the ways."
