Obraz milknącego głosu w Apokalipsie św. Jana i jego przesłanie na tle paralelnych tekstów Starego Testamentu

Abstract

The Book of Revelation uses the portrayal of the voice which shall not be heard as part of Babylon’s destruction and urges us towards conversation with it. The specifics of the silent voice is based on that from the Old Testament. The accent lies on emotions, relations, work, art – things connected with everyday life. Lack of voice means lack of these and causes emptiness which puts human beings into death. But such situations can also have a positive influence: they can move one to reflect, to verify choices, and that’s why hopes rise. Because it’s caused by God – the aim of this is that everybody comes back to Him and has a happy life.
