You Can Understand Bible Prophecy
157 pp. Paperback.
New second edition. The new edition is expanded and contains some important changes regarding the millennium passage in Revelation 20 that resulted from deeper research into Revelation.
This book is an extremely valuable introduction to Revelation. It is designed with the average Christian in mind. The material arose from years of lectures on Revelation in conferences and in a college setting, as well as while researching a full-length commentary on Revelation.
Do you have questions about how to discern the overarching message of Revelation?
Do you currently understand the general preterist approach to Revelation, but would like
help in showing family and friends what it is all about?
Are you looking for a good book for a small Bible study or Sunday class?
Do you have a dispensationalist friend depressed over missing the latest prediction of the Antichrist, and you
want to console and instruct him?
Do you enjoy watching dispensationalists squirm? :)
Then this book is for you!
In this brief work you will discover an in-depth study of Revelation 1:7 as the theme of Revelation. You will see how it points to the AD 70 judgment of Israel for rejecting ("piercing") the Messiah.
You will also learn how Jerusalem aligned herself with Rome to persecute Christians.
You will find how John consoles the first century saints by providing them with one important glance into the distant future, showing that their Christian faith is here for the long run (Rev. 20).
You will read documentary evidence showing that Revelation was fulfilled in the first century destruction of the Temple, which concluded the old covenant economy and closed out the typological worship in the temple.
In this brief work, the Book of Revelation is "made easy."
