Synopsis

The Apocalypse Vision, An Exposition of Christ's Revelation brings the centuries-old book from the Bible into the twenty-first century by offering new insights into the once-mystical imagery produced by the Apostle John from his exile on the Isle of Patmos during his Roman imprisonment. The message previously shrouded in mystery by its figurative language and apocalyptic symbolism is explained in simple terms, using the Bible itself, in a verse-by-verse exposition, giving Jesus' message modern relevance to today's politically conscious reader. The most common questions concerning Revelations are: ¿ What is meant by the woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns? ¿ Who or what is the Beast rising from the sea as witnessed by John? ¿ Or, the Beast from the earth? ¿ What is meant by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? ¿ Will Christ really return to earth to reign for a thousand years? The answer to these questions as well as many others are within the pages of The Apocalypse Vision, explained in simple language so the reader may gain the richness of knowledge available to all who read of Christ's Revelation to the Apostle John.
