Digital Logos Edition
The purpose of this book is to help the reader better understand God’s plan for the redemption of planet Earth. Holy Scripture unfolds the meaning of God’s plan until it reaches its full and complete unveiling in the last book of the Bible, the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” (Rev. 1:1). The book of Revelation is the highlight and climax of all previous prophecies. This suggests it has a profound spiritual unity with the other books of the Bible and requires a basic knowledge of all Scripture before a deeper insight into the Apocalypse can be ascertained.

“The local history and the end-time eschatology are so blended together that they cannot be completely separated in the prophetic description. The present corresponds to the future, because it is the same God that comes now and in the future. This is the central message of the Old Testament. The moral purpose of each announcement of a judgment from God is to bring His people into harmony with His redemptive will in the present. The ultimate goal of prophecy is not catastrophe and destruction but a new creation and the restoration of paradise lost on earth.” (Page 17)
“This distinction in the Old Testament between a true Israel of God within the nation of Israel is not based on race or blood relationship with Abraham, but on faith and obedience to God. The decisive factor is a spiritual covenant relationship with God.” (Page 18)
“Thus Revelation focuses on His mediation for the church during the Christian era and on His final work of judgment and deliverance as the introduction to His second advent.” (Page 72)
“The relation of the imminent local judgment and the end-time world judgment is called a typological connection.” (Page 16)
“The central message is that God acts, not the duration of the time span between the judgments.” (Page 17)
