George Kalyvas witnessed the capture of Rhodes, his native island, by the Turks (1522). Witnessing these events, George desired to answer the question of knowing what are the four Beasts of the vision of Daniel, those same Beasts whose characteristics are also found in Chapter 13 in the Book of Revelation. Kalyvas had corresponded with a monk, known by the name of Mathussala, who, around 1550, had written commentaries on the prophetic Books of the Old Testament and claimed to have received from Saint John, the author of the Apocalypse, the revelation concerning “the true enemies of Orthodoxy as well as the date of their annihilation” and published that interpretation.
