The Revelation: An Analysis and Exposition of the Last Book of the Bible
Overview
Most interpretations of Revelation are chiefly occupied with symbols of the Book—mysteries, judgments, promised consummation—and neglect to sufficiently emphasize the person of Jesus Christ. If Jesus so prominently stands at the book’s center, what makes the symbolism so appealing and distracting? Gaebelein firmly orients the symbolism, the prophecy, and the apocalyptic predictions in the book of Revelation around the person of Jesus Christ. The Revelation: An Analysis and Exposition of the Last Book of the Bible also contains appendices on connections between Revelation and Daniel, on the symbolic names in Revelation, and on helpful books on prophecy in general and the book of Revelation in particular.

“The beloved city is Jerusalem. The ‘camp of the Saints’ may mean the heavenly Saints. The redeemed are above the earth in the new Jerusalem, and yet they have also access to the earth and are with the King in the government of the earth.” (Page 142)
“Gog and Magog here must not be identified with Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38 and 39. The invasion of Israel’s land described by Ezekiel took place before the millennium, it is pre-millennial.” (Page 142)
“Not a wicked one is left; the earth is completely purged of evil-doers.” (Page 142)
“The rider here is a great counterfeit leader, not the personal Anti-christ, but the little horn which Daniel saw coming out of the ten-horned beast (Daniel 7).” (Page 52)
“ The beginning of evil, in doctrine or in life, is heart-departure from Christ, and not giving Christ the pre-eminence” (Page 35)

Arno Gaebelein (1861–1945) is considered one of America’s truly great Bible teachers. His editorship of the unique Bible study magazine, Our Hope, and his authorship of scores of volumes gave him an international reputation.
He influenced many during his ministry over the last fifty years in many parts of the United States and Canada. A pioneer in the Bible conference movement, he was an original member of the editorial board that assisted Dr. C. I. Scofield in the preparation of the Scofield Reference Bible.
The Annotated Bible, published by Gaebelein, has been a standard reference work for most of a century. The Selected Words of A. C. Gaebelein includes thirteen valuable books and commentaries discuss the Bible’s relevance to world events.
