Thoughts on Revelation picks up where Thoughts on Daniel left off. The theme of Revelation can be found in plain sight. "Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him" (Revelation 1:7). Daniel prophesied of a coming Messiah. John prophesied of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The destruction of Jerusalem and the exile to Babylon was a judgment against Israel. The Great Tribulation will be a judgment against "all the nations" (Isaiah 34:1-3). I think that I can safely say that there is not a book in the entire Bible that is read less and misunderstood more than the book of Revelation. I don't know how many Bible studies I have attended on Revelation. Not one of those studies ever made it to culmination. The instructors had the best intentions, but for one reason or another, they did not conclude the matter, leaving the attendees more confused than ever. This is a companion edition to Thoughts on Daniel. If simple rules are followed in reading and studying, the book of Revelation should become clear, logical, and easily understood. So here it is. Handed down from Daniel and illuminated by Jesus and open for those who have "ears to hear and eyes to see--both are gifts from the Lord" (Proverbs 20:12).
