The Book of Revelation has long been thought of as a formidable and confusing work, understandable to
only elite bible scholars. But, like its very name--Revelation--understanding of this seemingly complex
book is available to all! God has even promised a special blessing to those who read it!
David Baxley, D.Min., has broken down the perceived barriers and written a simple, verse-by- verse
commentary that is understandable to even beginning bible students. It includes maps, a chronology of
end time events and wars, definitions, and cross references to Old Testament scriptures that point to
the time of the end. He also includes discussion of sections that are still not fully understood or defined,
with possible varying interpretations.
Revelation readers can get bogged down in the symbolism and sensationalism of the judgment and miss
the main message of the book. It's a book of hope in the return of Jesus Christ and His perfect rule that
will bring an end to evil and injustice and believers will live with God forevermore!
A bible student for over 50 years, and pastor for over 40, Dr. David Baxley has studied and taught the
Book of Revelation extensively. While in the hospital recovering from a heart transplant, he realized that
the sequence of end time events was still not clear in his mind, so he spent the next two years in intense
study. This book is the result of that study.
