The Book of Revelation: Too Good to Be False!
Overview
For many, the word “apocalypse” conjures up images of gloom and destruction, and scores of books paint a frightening picture of Earth’s final events. By contrast, Jon Paulien unravels the puzzling symbols of apocalyptic prophecy to reveal the gospel of Jesus and a future of joy and without fear.
Top Highlights
“Thus the kings of the east are not the Parthians, the Turks, or a Sino-Japanese alliance, but Christ and His angels coming to earth to destroy the world confederacy that opposes Him and to deliver His people from suffering and oppression, as is portrayed in Revelation 19:11–15.” (Page 22)
“the whole universe all but goes berserk with rejoicing” (Page 27)
“Although a great deal of insanity attaches itself to this book of the Bible, the fault does not lie in its content. It lies, rather, with those who attempt to fit its content to their vision of the future.” (Page 9)
“Thus the woman of Revelation 17 represents people who, though religious, have not been faithful to God” (Page 12)
“Although Cyrus was a heathen king, Isaiah portrays God here as commissioning Cyrus to conquer Babylon by drying up its river and to act in behalf of His people by rebuilding their city, Jerusalem. This Old Testament account unquestionably lies behind the symbolism of Revelation chapters 16 and 17.” (Page 21)
