JOURNEY THROUGH REVELATION, A
A Message for the Millennium

No other book in the New Testament rivals the Apocalypse or Book of Revelation for its richness of imagery and symbolism. In fact, since so much of it is unfamiliar and even mysterious, people often find reading it and meditating on its message daunting and disconcerting. But it need not be that way. It is God’s hope-filled message for a world that is otherwise full of much uncertainty and fear. Its basic message is that in the ongoing struggle between good and evil, good will ultimately triumph and one thing alone is truly important: that we worship God and Him alone. After having carefully studied the major commentators and contemporary experts in the field, the author has sought in his own inimitable way to make this book come alive for the average reader in many new and exciting ways. In doing so, he has concentrated on areas of spirituality and biblical theology not often emphasized in more academic studies of this work which to be fully appreciated, demands a study that is both reflective and meditative. Its concluding refrain should ever be on the lips of all believers: “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
