In his book A Testimony of Jesus Christ, Tony Garland presents a detailed study of the Book of Revelation which emphasizes prophetic themes from the rest of the Bible which find their fulfillment in Revelation. To understand this controversial book, Garland explores the many connections between the visions seen by the Apostle John and previous prophetic revelation given to Old Testament prophets such as Daniel, Ezekiel, and others. It is the author's conviction that an understanding of related passages elsewhere in the Bible is the most important key to unlocking the bewildering variety of interpretations which often accompany the study of the last book of the Bible. The commentary is linked to a free companion internet course providing an additional 70 hours of audio instruction linked to almost 1,000 slides.
Tony Garland holds an Advanced Diploma in Systematic Theology and Advanced Diploma in Prophetic Studies from Tyndale Theological Seminary, and earned the Masters of Theological Studies (M. T. S.) and Doctor of Theology (Th. D.) degrees from Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary.
The book of Revelation, as the last book of the Bible, provides us with the consummation and climax of God's revelation. It is the terminus for all the great truths found in the rest of Scripture, many of which have their beginning in Genesis. It is God's final word to man. This in itself makes this book tremendously significant. But the most important element of the book is that it is a special revelation of Jesus Christ Himself anticipating the glory of His second coming and His final victory over the forces of darkness and evil so prominent in the world today.
J. Hampton Keathley III, Th. M. is a 1966 graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and a former pastor of 28 years. Hampton wrote many articles for the Biblical Studies Foundation and on occasion taught New Testament Greek at Moody Bible Institute, Northwest Extension for External Studies in Spokane, Washington.
The book of Revelation is the one only book of New-Testament prophecy. As the completion of the whole prophetic Scriptures, it gathers up the threads of all the former books, and weaves them into one chain of many links which binds all history to the throne of God. As New-Testament prophecy, it adds the heavenly to the earthly sphere, passes the bounds of time, and explores with familiar feet eternity itself. Who would not, through these doors set open to us, press in to learn the things yet unseen, so soon to be for us the only realities? Who would not imagine that such a book, written with the pen of the living God Himself, would attract irresistibly the hearts of Christians, and that no exhortation would be needed for a moment to win them to its patient and earnest study?
—From the Introduction
Born in London in 1834, Frederick W. Grant converted to Christianity while reading the Bible. He attended King’s College before traveling to Toronto. At the time, the Church of England was expanding in Canada, and Grant became ordained. He later moved to the United States, and lived in Brooklyn, New York before moving to Plainfield, New Jersey. Grant was also deeply influenced by the teachings of the Plymouth Brethren. Grant died in 1902.
Our title to the following pages indicates our adherence in some sense to the interpretation of the book of Revelation which makes the body of it—the nineteen chapters upon which we are entering—apply to what is still for us future. Those who so apply it, what ever differences in detail there may be among them, are on this account called “futurists”, in contrast with the large school of “Presentists” or “Historicalists,” who find in it a progressive history of the Church from the beginning, and interpret it naturally by that history.

The subject of this book is judgment; the style symbolism.
God is revealed as the Almighty, the Eternal, the Judge of all the earth. Christ appears exercising His judicial functions, first in the house of God, and afterwards among the nations. The Holy Ghost is seen, not as the “one Spirit,” but in His perfect diversity of action in connection with the government of God.
—Baines, T. B.
This present work has been produced as the result of an earnest request from Australia, couched in terms which hardly admitted of a refusal. The deep interest taken in prophecy at the present time, the need of something brief and simple, yet exhaustive as to the main outlines of the subject, were reasons urged. The reader may now judge if this need has been met. Many Christians, anxious for enlightenment on these subjects, and who have not the time in these days of business stress and pressure to master long and exhaustive treatises, we trust will find this book just what they want. Whilst dispensational truth and prophecy generally have been touched upon, the reader will find the following pages are mainly a brief exposition of the Book of the Revelation and of the prophetic parts of the Books of Daniel and Zechariah. A special effort has been made by the judicious use of letterpress and diagrams to make the subject matter clear and easily grasped. It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. James Green for kindly preparing the maps, which appear at the end of the volume. The writer lays no claim to originality. He has freely availed himself of the help other writers have furnished on these subjects. The reader must be prepared for a measure of repetition in these pages. For instance, in explaining Revelation we get help in comparing it with Daniel; in explaining Daniel we get help in comparing it with Revelation, etc., etc. That God may graciously use these pages to the help of many of His people is the desire and fervent prayer of the writer.
