A Testimony of Jesus Christ: A Commentary on the Book of Revelation, Vol. 2($35.69Value)

Description

A Commentary on the Book of Revelation - Volume 2 The author presents a detailed study of the Book of Revelation emphasizing prophetic themes from the rest of the Bible which find their fulfillment in Revelation. To understand this controversial book, the author explores the numerous connections between the visions seen by the Apostle John and previous prophetic revelation given to Old Testament prophets such as Daniel, Ezekiel, and others. It is the author's conviction that an understanding of related passages elsewhere in the Bible is the most important key to unlocking the bewildering variety of interpretations which often accompany the study of the last book of the Bible. The commentary is supplemented by a free companion Internet course providing an additional 70 hours of audio instruction.  Related editions: ASIN B00A6J6A68 two volumes combined, Kindle format;  ISBN 978-0978886400 two volume set, hardback;  ISBN 978-0978886417 volume 1, hardback; ISBN 978-0978886424 volume 2, hardback.
