The author of John's Apocalypse does not recommend himself as a model for dialogue, in fact no contribution on his book from the ecumenical perspective has appeared. It is a fact that he is incessantly quarrelling in battles both intramural and extramural and his language would be best portrayed by ancient rhetoricians as inspired by "vilification", since he is systematically discrediting his own adversaries. Although his praxis is not conciliatory at all, some of his theological schemes deserve to be taken into account: the centrality and equidistance of Christ in relation to the Churches, the Spirit which is interiorizing Christ's message to the same Churches, the "Pantokrator" 's guide of every human being and nation through the agency of his Envoy and his paschal redemption and the uniqueness and indivisibility of the people of God, consisting of his pre-messianic and post-messianic components.
