Publisher's Synopsis
Rediscovering Revelation looks at our past and future. This book reviews the claims of futurism, a view held by millions of Christians today, and shows that Jesus and His current reign is the centre of biblical prophecy, rather than date setting and end-times speculations. There is a better vision in the scriptures that "pan-millennialism". Get ready for a gospel centred discovery of the Prophets and the Revelation, which is changing the world today! Be prepared to rethink your views. Interpreting Matthew chapter twenty-four and the book of Revelation through the eyes of the disciples and churches that received these texts, and in the light of the Old Testament passages these texts drew upon, Rediscovering Revelation explains their meaning and relevance for our day. Rediscovering Revelation begins with a critique of the popular teaching of dispensationalism, showing how it misguides the church in understanding both the gospel and the times in which we now live. After reviewing the main themes and applications of Revelation, this book ends with a Postmillennial view of Christ's present reign. Revelation is a rich resource of encouragement concerning the current reign and victory of Jesus Christ and when properly understood it can be restored to today's pulpits to edify the church in the way God intended.
