The text of this illumination is taken from The Logia or Sayings of the Master by J. Todd Ferrier, and from psalms in the book Psalms and Canticles as published by the Order of the Cross. The six verses from the psalms (on the left and right) are illustrated by exquisite miniatures. The quotations in the large centre panel are from the Apocalypse in The Logia. Many Apocalyptic visions are depicted, including the four and twenty elders with golden crowns, the four living creatures, the Lamb of God, the seven angels with seven trumpets, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, and the army of white horses. The bottom panel "Behold! He Cometh" illustrates the dawn of the Aquarian Age, heralding the return to Edenic conditions upon the earth.
