Not being Catholic myself, I was curious whether the Catholic church uses the book of Revelation in its liturgy (mass), since I know the Orthodox do not. It’s fascinating to note the wide separation between the Christian denominations on this point: the “traditional” churches (if I can call them such), such as the Orthodox, Catholics, Anglicans, and Lutherans never talk about the rapture and end-times speculation and are decidedly amillennial (no rapture), but the evangelical churches seem to be overwhelmed/overly obsessed with the subject, perhaps at the expense of the Gospel. That is my own personal fear concerning the subject. Personally, I don’t care whether the rapture occurs or not, or when. All I know, is that my soul needs to be right with the Lord whenever He comes, and to simply expect Him at any time.
i think this is correct ... Catholic Mass readings:
Epiphany Sunday
Epistle: Revelation 21:3 | Gospel: Matthew 2:1
“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”
Palm Sunday
Epistle: Revelation 19:1 | Gospel: Matthew 21:1
“And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God”
Trinity Sunday
Epistle: Revelations 4:2 | Gospel: John 14:6
“And immediately I was in the Spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.”
