Top Highlights

“God gave the Apocalypse shown to John in order to bless us—to do us good, to convey His grace, to fortify our hearts.” (Page 24)

“a portrayal of the church’s struggle throughout the entire period between the first and second comings of Christ” (Page 13)

“Revelation does speak of events that ‘must soon take place,’ not events in a distant future, far removed from the circumstance of the early church. Preterism properly focuses on the relevance of the book’s teaching to its first recipients, the church of the first century.” (Page 12)

“The book of Revelation was given to God’s people to make a critical point: Jesus Christ will destroy Satan and all his minions.” (Page 8)

“Only in chapters 21–22, in the vision of the new heaven and earth, do we find a prophecy of events still lying in the future.” (Page 12)
