Revelations Books

If you are looking to better understand the Bible, the book of Revelations, the future of the Church, Fall of Jerusalem, and the Millennial views (Premil, Amil, Postmil), this is a MUST read!

Bahnsen has such a way of capture your attention and explaining Biblical Truths in a clear, understandable, meaty manner that isn't watered down or wishy washy. He lays a solid foundation by using Scripture, Jesus' own words, and historical facts to back up his points. Anyone would have a hard time arguing with or debating his insights.

Watch Revelations come alive, and the whole Bible, and made clearly understandable before your very eyes.

It is my desire to share this book with as many people as a possibly can! It has really sparked a deeper love and understanding of the importance of being a faithful Christian and what that involves.

Christ and His people shall surely win the victory over death and evil! What a bright hope, indeed, for the future!

This book is well researched and writen. I like the anecdots that give spiritual insight into everyday events. It shows a fresh view of what Revelation means to us today. Instead of talking about the future endtimes, the book helps me understand more about God and Satan. Walking through Revelation gives practical ways to live a Christian life and ways to pray. This is a good commenatary on Revelation. It challenged my thinking and cleared up some of the mysteries in the book of Revelation.

Eller's work on pacifism is a great read - both in terms of its substantive content and its refreshingly humorous approach. While his harsh critique of pacifist activism may have been more appropriate at the time of the book's original publication, his concerns about the dangers of a war-like approach to resolving conflict is helpful, and his insightful bridging of New and Old Testament traditions of peace is much needed.

This commentary is not for Amill or Post-mill persuasion. This commentary approaches the Book of Revelation from Pre-mill view point. This commentary is a very good book, because:
1. It is short and concise. It is basically a passage by passage commentary, so Robert Mounce dwells on the main points of the passage. He does not go into too much detail, but he does address important issues. But if you want more detailed treatment of the subject you can always refer to his commentary on Revelation in NICNT series.
2. It provides interesting insights. For example, I was impressed by his interpretation on Rev.3:15,16 -- concerning "you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold..." Mounce comments, "The basic fault of the Laodicea church is that is it lukewarm. This has been understood to mean that spiritually the church was neither hot nor cold, but had settled for an insipid lukewarmness. It is regularly noted that several miles to the north of Laodicea, the hot mineral water from springs in Hieropolis spills over the cliff above the Lycus River and covers the wide escarpment with a layer of white mineral. By the time the water reaches the spillway, it has become lukewarm and is nauseous to the taste. The problem with this interpretation is the difficulty in understanding why it is better to be spiritually cold than lukewarm. The real contrast appears to be between the medicinal waters of Hieropolis, which would provide healing, and the cool drinking water of Colossae, ten miles on up the Lycus glen, which would provide refreshment. The Laodiceans were lukewarm in the sense that their Christianity provided neither healing for the spiritually sick nor refreshment for those who were spiritually weary" (p. 17). And like this, he provides insights throughout the book.
3. It is stimulating. While the book is short in length, its quality is not. He anticipates different views and addresses them and explains why his view is more reasonable.

Overall, the book is great for beginners without being intimidated by the difficulty of Revelation. I recommend this book to anyone.

Wes McComb is a dear friend and devout Christian, who has written a provocative book in the long line of people of faith who have seen the Book of Revelation as a direct message for their own times. The book is written with wit, and humility, and asks us to see the glory of Jesus Christ throughout "Revelation," no matter what else we may or may not see in it. Wes' humility allows him to admit readily that he may be "joining the thousands" who have been mistaken about this fascinating, apocalyptic book. He is also correct in noting, as I can tell you from my own experience, that "your agreement with [his] views is not required for you to find fulfillment in this book." (p.1) With painstaking detail, the author works through "Revelation," chapter by chapter, finding and discerning explanations for the often-confusing symbolism and numerology. With a sense of history, and concern for our future under God, he guides us to understand, at the least, that God is involved in all of our world affairs, outward appearances notwithstanding. Perhaps most controversial is the author's fascinating, unique conviction that the "sixth seal" will be opened this year, 1999, with a nuclear holocaust. Whether or not that actually happens, "When All Heaven Breaks Loose" will challenge you to see and think about things in a new way, and to remember the truth that the book of "Revelation," shows us the glory of Jesus, and that the bottom line is: Jesus wins.

Wilcox starts with the very assumption that John's Revelation is NOT difficult to understand, and that there are keys which enable us to comprehend it. He plainly tells us that he's going to focus on the simplicity of the John's book -- and that he does.

If you're in business or customer service and have clients you truly care about, you simply have to read this book!

Zero client turnover is the goal and this book points the way to constant improvement and a passion to deliver extraordinary service at all levels. It offers a proactive campaign to meeting needs and is an awesome tool.

Very good overview of why there are so many denominations in the world. Provides answers from the Bible. Provides ways in which you can distinguish the truth from error using Scripture.

This book is a great addition to anyones graphic novel collection. It contains issues 8 to 16 from the popular witchblade comic book series (top cow). The artwork looks great. The writing is good.
