Are we, today, meant to understand the Revelation? Can the Christian relate to a 1,900 year old book? Can he find an application? Can the Bible student find and understand an interpretation? This commentary answers those questions with a resounding "Yes!"

The commentary is based on the fact the Revelation of Jesus Christ is not apocalyptic, it is not the work of John the apostle, it is a prophecy of yet-future events revealed to John by Jesus Christ. John wrote exactly what he saw and heard. Jesus is the author, John was the scribe and publisher.

This commentary on Revelation 1–7 interprets the seven letters of the Revelation as genuinely descriptive of the circumstances in seven local churches, and how those letters may be applied to the New Testament church today. The scenes in heaven reveal spiritual truths to the reader relevant for all times. The six seals present a chronological overview of the entire Tribulation period. Chapter seven reveals the Tribulation is a time of great salvation during a time of great judgment. These things are thoroughly discussed in the commentary.

The theological point of view is Reformed and Dispensational. The futurist model is applied. The interpretation rigorously and consistently applies the Historical-Grammatical hermeneutic to every verse, every doctrine, every symbol, every figure of speech. Symbols and figures of speech are interpreted by other biblical usage to reveal literal truths. To interpret this 66th book of the Bible I have applied what the Holy Spirit has revealed in the preceding 65 books.
