Chapter 23Revel.8.23

Reuelacio secunda facta in hierusalem. Et christus precipit per sponsam dicto regi Cipri et principi, quod statim publicarent eam toti regno sine mora, vt se emendarent. Et quia non fecerunt, ideo in proximo destructi sunt per ianuenses terribiliter.

The Vision of the Imperial Throne

The bride is caught up in ecstasy to witness Christ as the supreme Emperor, who declares Himself to be the essence of love.

While the bride stood in prayer, suspended in an ecstasy of contemplation, she was caught up in the spirit and saw a palace of incomprehensible magnitude and unspeakable beauty. There she saw Christ as the supreme Emperor sitting among His saints on a high, imperial throne; He opened His blessed mouth and spoke these words, which are noted below, etc. “I am truly the supreme love itself,” and so on. See this chapter in Book VII, chapter XIX.

Read the original Latin

Cum sponsa staret orando in extasi contemplacionis suspensa, videbat rapta in spiritu vnum palacium incomprehensibilis magnitudinis et pulcritudinis indicibilis.

Ibi videbat christum vt summum imperatorem inter sanctos suos in throno excelso imperiali sedere, qui suum benedictum os aperiens proferebat hec verba, que inferius annotantur etc. Ego vere sum ipsa summa caritas etc. Require istud capitulum in VII libro capitulo XIX .
