The Apocalypse Unsealed

by James M. Pryse

Overview

A Startling and Sensational Disclosure of the Secret
Meanings of St. John's "Book of Revelation."

THE Apocalypse is really a book within a book, a meaning concealed by symbolic language and a series of ingenious puzzles. The solution of all these puzzles is given by Mr. Pryse, and the meaning of the book, as a whole and in every detail, is explained in clear, terse language. Thus deciphered, the Apocalypse stands out as a concise, systematic treatise on

THE MYSTERIES OF INITIATION. It discloses the esoteric basis of genuine Christianity. In "THE APOCALYPSE UNSEALED" there is no vague mysticism, theorizing, speculation, or dogmatic assertion. Its statements are backed up by convincing evidence, and rest upon sound and careful scholarship. St. John's marvelous cryptogram sweeps away the whole structure of dogmatic theology, and demonstrates what were the real teachings of the great Founder of Christianity. It is the "lost chord" of Christianity.

About the Author

James M. Pryse (14 November 1859 – 22 April 1942) was an author, publisher, and theosophist. James settled in Los Angeles, California, in 1886. He joined the Los Angeles branch of the Theosophical Society on July 28, 1887. His brother John was already a member at that time. John later dropped out of the Theosophical Society and founded the Gnostic Society in 1928. The original headquarters of the Gnostic Society was in John's home in Los Angeles (address: 919 South Bernal Avenue, Los Angeles, California).
In July 1888 the Pryse brothers arrived in New York City. In 1889, members of the Theosophical Society from New York City and Chicago purchased a printing press and type, for the purpose of setting up a publishing company which would handle the publishing needs of the various branches of the Theosophical Society located in the United States. This theosophical publishing company, named the Aryan Press, was located at 144 Madison Avenue in Manhattan, New York City. James was recruited to set up and operate the Aryan Press, which was in full operation by December 1889.
