Top Highlights

“The Bible begins with Paradise LOST, and closes with Paradise REGAINED.” (Page 4)

“No mere angel was ever before or since described in the Scriptures as appearing like that. Then He is described as crying with a loud voice, as a lion roareth, and Christ is spoken of in this Book (Rev. 5:5) as ‘THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH’; and in the chapter that follows this the same ‘MIGHTY ANGEL’ speaks of the ‘Two Witnesses,’ as ‘MY WITNESSES,’ which is further indisputable evidence that this ‘MIGHTY ANGEL’ is no other than Christ Himself.” (Page 81)

“When Jesus was on the earth He was, as the ‘Son of Man,’ a PROPHET, now as the ‘Son of Man’ in Glory He is a Priest, and when He comes again it will be as the ‘Son of Man’ to reign as KING.” (Page 9)

“Now the word ‘Pergamos’ means ‘Marriage,’ and when the Church entered into a union with the State it was guilty of ‘Spiritual Fornication’ or ‘Balaamism.’” (Page 22)

“The ‘First Period,’ 7 WEEKS, refers to the time required to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, which was 49 years” (Page 50)

Praise for the Print Edition

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.

About Clarence Larkin

Rev. Clarence Larkin (1850–1924) was an American Baptist pastor, Bible teacher, and author whose writings on dispensationalism had a great impact on conservative Protestant visual culture in the 20th century. His intricate and influential charts provided readers with a visual strategy for mapping God's action in history and interpreting complex biblical prophecies. Born in Chester, Pennsylvania, Larkin experienced conversion at the age of nineteen. He received a college degree in mechanical engineering and had worked as a draftsman, a teacher of the blind, and a manufacturer, but felt called to ministry. After World War I broke out, God laid it on his heart to prepare a work on dispensational truth. Larkin spent three years of his life designing and drawing the charts and preparing the text. It was received to favorable acclaim both in the United States and abroad. During the last five years of his life, the demand for Larkin’s books made it necessary for him to give up his pastorate and devote his full time to writing. His other works include Rightly Dividing the Word; The Book of Daniel; Spirit World; Second Coming of Christ; and A Medicine Chest for Christian Practitioners, a Handbook on Evangelism.
