Last Chapter of the Bible (2nd Edition): A Guide to the Study of "The Revelation of Jesus Christ"

The Bible is a library of sixty-six books progressively telling one story: the story of Jesus Christ. The Revelation is the last in the series. Like the last chapter of a novel it brings the story to a resolution of conflicts and a happy ending for the heroes. The Revelation was written to be understood by Christians nearly 2,000 years ago. If Christians understood it then, we can understand it now. Employing much figurative language it was written against the background of a 1500-year history of God-inspired literature. Where the first 65 books use the images and figures John used we have keys to understanding John's message. This study examines about 150 of those images and figures.
