Worthy is the Lamb: A Walk Through Revelation
Overview
“If only I knew what to do with Revelation!”
Famous words, coined by Karl Barth, a theologian of the twentieth century. He’s not the first one to feel like that. The chances are, he will not be the last one either. Many of us can identify with his sense of exasperation. . . the fact is, when they eventually get into it, some folks succeed in making heavy weather of it.
This easy-to-read commentary is different. It walks you through one of the most exciting books in the Bible in bite-size chunks, it leaves nothing out, it covers every verse, and, at the end of the day, it’s an experience you cannot afford to miss.
Worthy is the Lamb is more than an ascription of praise, it’s more than a song of adoration and worship, much more. It’s a positive affirmation of who Jesus is. It’s a resounding declaration that he is who God says he is. It’s an acknowledgement that he is the focus of attention in eternity. It’s a fitting tribute to the King enthroned on high and exalted far above all!
In the Logos edition of Worthy is the Lamb, you get easy access to Scripture texts and to a wealth of other resources in your digital library.

“The key phrase is one you find in 22:10 and again in 1:3, ‘the time is near” (Page 19)
“Winston Churchill once described the former Soviet Union as ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.’ The plain fact is, many well-meaning evangelical Christians view the book of Revelation in much the same way. Richard Bewes makes a valid comment when he writes, ‘Ordinary Christians have left it unread; turned off by the bizarre flights of fancy, by the mathematical labyrinths in which some of its readers appear to have become enmeshed.’ To me, that is a pity, for they are the ones who are really missing out, in so many ways.” (Page 14)
“Grace is something which comes to us that we do not deserve and which we cannot repay. Grace stoops to where we are and it lifts us to where we ought to be. Peace is something which happens within us; it is a freedom from inner distraction which enables us to enjoy an internal rest. Peace is a tranquillity of soul that frees you from fear. It takes the sharp edges off your anxiety and tension.” (Pages 26–27)
“With the passing of time, words frequently change their meaning but symbols remain constant. John was able to draw on the great images in God’s revelation and write them into an exciting and exhilarating drama. That just proves the point that symbols can stand the test of time without relating to one particular culture or era.” (Page 24)
“takes quality time out and he whispers a word into each of our hearts. He says, ‘Grace and peace to you!’” (Pages 27–28)
