Publisher's Synopsis
If we did not realize already that it takes a lifetime to understand the Bible (and that's a good thing), the point is driven home when we get to the last book in the Bible-Revelation. It starts out simply enough, it is a "revelation (in Greek, apocalypse) from Jesus Christ," it is a "prophecy," and it comes as a letter to seven churches. Fair enough, but then come to the angels, beasts, earthquakes, horses and riders, wars, thrones, and much more. What are we to make of all this?
The author is a pastor and Bible teacher whose New Testament studies have impacted many around the world. In this book, he tackles one of its toughest books, taking the mystery out of what has become a complicated approach to Revelation. Examining what the book meant to the early churches to which it was sent, he presents a verse-by-verse study that exalts the Lord Jesus Christ as King over all philosophies, dictators, and false gods.
By uncovering its significance to early believers, The Revelation Project provides valuable lessons for modern readers as well. It reclaims the last book as one of wonder and victory that will enhance your devotional life and improve your understanding not only of Revelation but of the entire Bible as well.
Whether you read one study every week for a year, or choose to go more slowly or more quickly, this is a book that will give you the confidence that God's mysteries are not mysteries at all, but subtle truths He wants you to understand for your everyday life and work.
