We live in an extremely troubled world. We face epidemics, racism, violence, protests, and a lack of strong leadership in government. Crisis on a global level, natural disasters, and the ever-spreading criminal activity through the Internet have left us strained in our resources and vulnerable to all sorts of attacks. More succinctly, the world has lost touch with Jehovah, the Creator of the universe and the only one who can bring about any positive global change. As mankind turns his back on his Creator, he becomes more carnal, more primal, and without restraint. He becomes disobedient to authority, unthankful for what he has and incapable of judging right from wrong. He challenges that which gives him the right to issue the challenge in the first place. The fact that our world has lost all control should not be a shock to anyone. Jehovah laid out the chain of events that would lead to the depravity of man millennia ago. Mankind watches the downward spiral, and when there is no other alternative, they cry out to God, expecting that He will magically turn men’s hearts back to Him. Prophecy is seldom, God telling us what He is going to do. Most often it is God, through His foreknowledge, seeing what is to come and reporting it to us. The prophecy of God through John, Paul, Matthew, and the prophets of old is simply God showing us what is to come. He is relating, for our benefit, what is to come as the result of the failure of mankind. The Revelation of John is a love letter from God to His people, in which He forewarns us of the unchangeable future so that we might prepare ourselves for the inevitability of its appearance. In this book, the author has tried to “rightly divide” the truth of this prophecy in relation to the entirety of prophecy so that we might be able to see it unfolding before our eyes and awaken from our sleep to serve the living God.

A Commentary on the Book of Revelation - Volume 2 The author presents a detailed study of the Book of Revelation emphasizing prophetic themes from the rest of the Bible which find their fulfillment in Revelation. To understand this controversial book, the author explores the many connections between the visions seen by the Apostle John and previous prophetic revelation given to Old Testament prophets such as Daniel, Ezekiel, and others. It is the author's conviction that an understanding of related passages elsewhere in the Bible is the most important key to unlocking the bewildering variety of interpretations which often accompany the study of the last book of the Bible. The commentary can be used in conjunction with a free companion internet course providing an additional 70 hours of audio instruction linked to almost 1,000 slides.

While many theological commentaries have been written on the book of Revelation, this one has been written as an easy-to-understand commentary for those without a seminary education. It is not an in-depth theological treatise for the use of trained pastors. The author is a pastor who has spent more than twenty-five years studying and teaching the book of the Revelation in various conservative churches. It is unique in that it addresses the issues of the book of Revelation from what is known as the "realized millennial," or what Dr. Jay E. Adams described as the "orthodox preterist" position. This position affirms that the events of Revelation are past (preterist) with the exception of the events in the last two chapters. The main attraction to most readers will be the fact it does not use footnotes or endnotes and is therefore much easier to read and understand. It will also be attractive because it biblically addresses the erroneous view present in much of the modern church that the events of the Revelation are still future to our time. Additionally, the book establishes how the events described in the Revelation are related to Old Testament practices and prophecies, and it demonstrates the faithfulness of God in keeping His promises to His people.

Finally, a book which simplistically, insightfully and systematically presents an integrated, concrete overview of the 22 chapters, or 404 verses, of the book of Revelation. "Revelation Unsealed" is unique in a number of major areas. It is the first book to approach the text of Revelation from what is termed the Pre-Wrath Rapture perspective. This is the hotly debated view that the church will enter the Seventieth Week, undergo the great tribulation of the Antichrist, and be gathered off the earth before the wrath of God unfolds. This view is presented in a logical scenario, which is then placed within the overall context of the Apocalypse. Also contained is an entirely fresh biblical perspective of the emergence of the Antichrist. Additionally, this book also fully covers the relevance of world events, the amazing track record of biblical prophecy, the fulfillment of the seven religious feast of Israel, the battle of Armageddon, and the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ. All of these issues are addressed in a concise and simple manner with numerous charts and illustrations to aid the reader in easily conceptualizing and visualizing what is outlined. Its contents will challenge both the newest Christian and the seasoned biblical scholar.

Many people struggle with the book of Revelation because it is filled with strange symbols, numbers and bizarre images of beasts and visions. A blessing is promised (Rev 1:3) to all who read it but it cannot be received if one is intimidated by engaging the book. The key to understanding it lies in the context in which it was written which is the Old Testament. This book attempts to open up the reader to greater understanding of the book by giving the Old Testament references that John's readers would have been familiar with for the passages the Holy Spirit inspired John to write. .
