This is a commentary with devotional undertones on the final book of the Bible: Revelation. Jesus is coming back and the book of Revelation reminds us of this. But can the book of Revelation be understood with all its cryptic imagery? Yes, it can. Its message can be summarized in one sentence: God rules history and will bring it to its consummation in Christ. If you read it with that main point in mind, you will be able to understand it. You will not necessarily understand every detail but this is not necessary in order to gain spiritual insights. Vern S. Poythress is professor of New Testament interpretation at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. Among his published works are God-Centered Biblical Interpretation and The Shadow of Christ in the Law of Moses. |
