A great part of korean churches misinterpret the Book of Revelation by the ignoring the characteristics of the Apocalypse, because they pay attention to only the eschatological timetable. If we take account of the characteristics of the Apocalypse, we can find the characteristics of the polemic document in the Book of Revelation. This paper attempts to indicate, how the Book of Revelation can be interpreted by the studying Barth’s Interpretation und application of the Book of Revelation. Karl Barth applicates the Book of Revelation for Christian social ethics. And he makes an use of the Book of Revelation in order to criticize absolute power. First Barth explains that the apocalyptic pictures mean the rejection of God against the unrighteousness and injustice in the world of today. This rejection of God lets the Christian in the rejection of God work and restrict to assimilate with the corrupt world. The rejection means to struggle against human right violations and inhumane acts. He applicates the Book of Revelation for the social resistance. Secondly he uses the Book of Revelation for the criticism against an imperialist, hegemonic power of the empire. This absolute empire produces through the diabolic power iniquity und extreme discrimination between social classes. So the Christian should fight against the unjust system of the rule in the present. Finally Barth interprets the vision of the millenium und the new Heaven and new earth in Offb 21 as the hope for the new world in which all types of the discrimination are removed. This hope is the ethical goal of the Christians. The fact that Karl Barth applicates the Book of Revelation for the Christian social ethics, this gives the useful instruction how the korean church should interpret and apply it. Barth’s Interpretation and application of the Book of Revelation proposes us eine possibility of die application for Ethics of Freedom or liberation theology.
