This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the wisdom motifs in the book of Revelation and their rhetorical function within the work’s ethical framework. Challenging approaches that reduce Revelation to eschatological prediction or literary spectacle, this monograph demonstrates that John’s Apocalypse employs sapiential traditions in a deliberate and systematic manner to exhort its audience toward unwavering fidelity to Christ. Examining three major wisdom motifs—the occurrences of σοφία, the deployment of the two-women topos, and the strategic use of macarisms and vice lists—the study argues that Revelation integrates wisdom discourse to shape the readers’ discernment of true and false realities. John positions wisdom as the capacity to perceive the Lamb’s sovereign redefinition of power, value, and victory, and to unmask the deceptive allure of the beast and Babylon. By situating these motifs within their immediate literary contexts and within the structure of the Apocalypse as a whole, the study illuminates Revelation’s paraenetic purpose: to cultivate a community capable of ethical perseverance amid competing claims of allegiance.
