Armageddon Bride is a passionate perspective of the times we live in, at the threshold of the end of the age. The battle for the bride of Christ is an intense spiritual battle being fought at every level of life--the individual and family, as well as educational, political, and governmental authorities. As Christians, our beliefs are under assault, and we are being called to understand the dangers of these times, which are ours to claim. Scripture says that Jesus is coming back for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Red-hot love and desire for our heavenly Bridegroom will be as an iron pressing out lukewarmness, compromise, and contamination. What will those days be like? How shall we prepare? These questions are answered as the daily occurrence of political and social events begin to reveal the growing intensity of the challenges facing Christian believers in today's world. Readers will learn that the eternal Word of God will give us the direction needed and secure us in the promise that His glory to be revealed. It will be the greatest battle of all times and the greatest victory, through Jesus!

In his commentary on Hosea, H. W. Wolff proposed that the divine marriage metaphor is the central metaphor of the entire OT. In Hebrew prophetic books, the metaphor reflected the covenantal relationship between Yahweh and his people. No other metaphor reached as deeply into the heart of this relationship or better described the tragedy of a broken relationship between Yahweh and his people. No other metaphor expressed more fully the abundance of God's grace shown in the promise of covenant restoration and renewal in the eschaton. In this volume, Polish Reformed academic Sebastian Smolarz demonstrates that the divine marriage metaphor is also one of the leading NT metaphors used to describe God's restored covenant relationship with his people, especially in the Book of Revelation. Smolarz argues for continuity between OT and NT concepts and theologies in general, and for continuity between the Apocalypse and OT material in particular, showing that the Apocalypse has much in common with other parts of the NT. In doing so, he focuses on some Gospel parables and reads them against their OT background. He also examines instances of the divine marriage metaphor in Paul's theological reflections. The focus of Smolarz' volume is a covenantal reading of the Apocalypse. He argues that the metaphor helps to establish the Apocalypse's Sitz im Leben, which he relates to the main conflict between the faithful and the unfaithful within the people of God in the first century CE. His work establishes that the Apocalypse contains not only explicit instances, but also implicit references and many echoes of this covenantal metaphor.

This book is my first book followed by others that are on the way. We know and we sense the church is running out of time and space. Apostle Paul mentioned in the book of 1 Timothy 4:7 there will be bad days with many false teachings deceived by the demons. The Catholic worship Maria, saints, and angels. The Pentecostal Church worship the Holy Spirit, the Christians worship Jesus, and everybody ignores the father that Jesus recommends worship in spirit. The Old Testament and the Book of Revelation also are totally ignored, most of the pastors today preach the death and resurrection of Jesus. Nothing about God the Father or prophecy of the last days, nothing about the rapture of the church. In my book, I try to bring out some beautiful messages of the Old Testament and some messages of the coming of anti-Christ and the rapture of the church and about the new creation (Rom.1:25).

The book of Revelation firstly reveals Christ (1:1), and secondly the testimony of Jesus (1:2). In other words, this book is concerned with Christ and the church. In Revelation, Christ and the church are revealed in a unique and particular way. Several aspects of Christ, such as the vision of Him as the High Priest in the midst of the churches, caring for them in love yet with a judging attitude (1:13-16), the vision of Him as the Lion-Lamb in the midst of God’s throne, and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the 24 elders of the universe opening the seven seals of God’s universal administration (5:1-6:1), and the vision of Him as Another Mighty Angel coming down from heaven to take possession of the earth (10:1-8; 18:1) have never been unveiled as they are in the book of Revelation. In this book, the revelation of Christ is unique and ultimate. In addition to this ultimate revelation of Christ, the book of Revelation also unveils many unique aspects of the church as the testimony of Jesus. The lampstands in chapter one, the great multitude of the redeemed in chapter seven, the bright woman with her man-child in chapter 12, the harvest with its firstfruits in chapter 14, the overcomers on the sea of glass in chapter 15, the bride ready for marriage and the fighting army of Christ in chapter 19, and the New Jerusalem in chapters 21 and 22 are all the testimony of Jesus which is the Spirit - the substance, the disposition, and the characteristic - of the prophecy in this book (19:10). The central content of this book is an unveiling of God’s economy concerning Christ and the church, presenting the ultimate and consummate revelation of Christ with His full salvation and the church as His loving bride, the New Jerusalem. In this book, we find the full and adequate conclusion, not only to the writings of John and to the New Testament, but also to the entire divine revelation.
