It applies Revelation to contemporary Christian living, rather than analyzing theology or current events. \u003ci\u003eRevelation: A Devotional Commentary\u003c\/i\u003e is for busy Christians who have pushed Revelation aside as too weird or too complicated. It suggests personal applications, builds faith, and stimulates worship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevelation: A Devotional Commentary\u003c\/i\u003e is based on the conviction that any ordinary Christian can read and understand the main ideas of Revelation, and find it relevant to life today. The body of this book is comments on the scriptures in everyday language, punctuated by frequent pauses for worship. It is not an academic commentary, but notes include cultural information and definitions of key Greek words from commonly available references, such as Strong's \u003ci\u003eExhaustive Concordance of the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevelation: A Devotional Commentary\u003c\/i\u003e views Revelation as a panorama, a large tapestry, rather than as a predictive chronology of the second coming of Jesus. Even though Christians have many different interpretations of details about the second coming of Jesus, one thing is guaranteed, Jesus will come back to Earth again, this time with power and glory. \u003ci\u003eRevelation: A Devotional Commentary\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on these points about His second coming, which are clearly taught by other scriptures:\u003cbr\u003e(1) Jesus will personally return.\u003cbr\u003e(2) Believers will rise from the dead to eternal life.\u003cbr\u003e(3) Unbelievers will face eternal judgment.\u003cbr\u003e(4) Expect Him soon!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures include the following.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe full text of Revelation is included from the \u003ci\u003eHolman Christian Standard Bible\u003c\/i\u003e (HCSB), which is a modern translation based on the latest evangelical Bible scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDramatic woodcut prints by Albrecht Dürer illustrate the scriptures.
