I believe this is also true of the last book of the Bible. Shouts of joy once filled the air as nuggets of gold had been brought up to reveal their sparkling glory in the light of the brilliant sun.īut years have come and gone and now, near the entrance, an old dusty sign warns would-be intruders: "œDanger! Rattlesnakes and Hidden Explosives!" It is sad to see that what was once a source of blessings has turned into a place of foreboding and fear. The hard working man or men who first dug it had followed a vein of gold deep below the surface. Somewhere out in the West there lies an old, abandoned mine shaft. (3) A Fundamental Wesleyan Commentary on Revelation by Vic Reasoner Get a copy now, before it goes out of print. Is it perfect? No, but it's the best one available at the moment. Those interested in Bible prophecy cannot afford to pass up this commentary on the most quoted prophetic book of the Bible and the one least understood. The author also interacts with alternative interpretations, especially the foolishness of dispensationalism. You never find yourself wondering whether he is stretching the meaning of the text to make it fit a pre-conceived position. Bass' exposition is clear and to the point. Like Days of Vengeance, you get a verse-by-verse commentary of the text. The author avoids some of the more speculative interpretations outlined by Chilton. In some ways, this is a better commentary than Days of Vengeance.
Being a faithful Berean, "he searched the Scriptures" (Acts 17:11) for an answer. Like so many of us, he was asked questions he could not answer using the dispensational system. The author was a dispensationalist for thirty-five years. Now that David Chilton's Days of Vengeance is out of print, you'll be needing a good partial preterist commentary on Revelation to take its place. (2) Back to the Future: A Study in the Book of Revelation By Ralph E. It is, as the very first verse says, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ." If this book isn't in your library, it should be. The book of Revelation is not about the antichrist, the devil, microchips or bar codes. Chilton skillfully shows in detail that Christians will overcome all opposition thourgh the work of Jesus Christ. A bibilical and scholarly exposition of Revelation is laid out for readers to soak up and begin to view the world with renewed hope and optimism. After being out of print for five years and only available at exorbitant prices in used book stores, Days of Vengeance is back! Going where no commentary has dared to go before, this work shuts the mouths of end-times doomsayers with their pessimistic view of the future. Good news for those of you who have wanted a copy of David Chilton's extraordinary verse-by-verse exposition of Revelation. Those whom are interessed in The partial-preterist commentary's on the book of Revelation.
