Considered by many to be one of the most important writers on dispensationalism, Clarence Larkin’s works were beloved for their straight language, simple truths, and unique and fascinating artwork that he included to illustrate his points. Ordained as a Baptist minister at the age of thirty-four, Larkin had previously worked as a mechanical engineer. During that period, he honed the pen-and-ink skills that would prove to play a large part in his ministry, and later, his books.

At first, these large pen-and-ink murals were made for use in the pulpit to illustrate his premillennialist view of Scripture. Soon he was being asked to travel and teach with these charts. His ability to teach complex ideas effectively and the beauty of his artwork proved to be so popular, that he decided to try them out in book form. Almost one hundred years later, readers are still marveling over Larkin's works.

This book is the result of twenty-five years of study of the Book of Revelation by Larkin. He interprets Revelation from a Futurist standpoint, showing that the book is to be taken literally, and that it is written in chronological order. The book is illustrated with over thirty of Larkin's beautiful and intricate charts and includes numerous drawings of images described in the Book of Revelation that help elucidate Larkin's teachings. Contents include:

• The Things Which Thou Hast Seen
• The Things Which Are
• The Things Which Shall Be Hereafter
• The Seven Seals
• The Seven Trumpets
• The Seven Personages
• The Seven Vials
• The Seven Dooms

It is indeed refreshing to take up and exposition of the Book of Revelation and find its author handling it with reverence. Ministers can't own all books, and they shouldn't if they could. There are certain books that are useful and we would class this among the most serviceable.

Shortly after World War I, Larkin was disturbed to see a large number of people turning to the occult to try to contact lost loved ones. "It seems timely that a book should be written to show what the Holy Scriptures has revealed of the 'World of Spirits.'
