Revelation-Reader's Edition

Revelation can bring to mind terrible visions of war, disaster, persecution, and global destruction. It challenges the reader with symbols and hidden meanings. Yet the golden thread that runs through Revelation is Christ, the slain and arisen Lamb, with His Church in worship on earth and in heaven. This commentary explores and explains the final testimony of the ascended Lord before His return in Judgment. Instead of being about just a great showdown, Revelation stresses how Christ gives Christians power in weakness. Christ reveals to His people glorious visions of the world to come amid the present suffering. He promises the ultimate defeat of Satan and eternal life with God.
