The Revelation Explained
Overview
From the Introduction: "The character of this book is shown by its title, Revelation, and the title agrees with the object and purpose of the book, which was “to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass.” Whether this unfolding is in its major purpose the revelation of Jesus Christ, or a revelation made by Christ, may not require any particular attention, since both are literally and actually true."
