THE END OF THE OLD

THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW

Comments on Revelation 

THE BOOK OF REVELATION: The End of the Old covenant, and The Beginning of the New covenant.  Good News for all of humanity!  The mystery of John’s vision is not the end of human history as some have viewed it, but rather a message of hope and transformation.  This work sheds light upon the ideas and thoughts of God that are revealed through symbolic language and understood by hearing what the Spirit is saying.  Those who regard and discern the secret of this Unveiling receive a blessing..

A must-read for every student of Scripture:

             In depth verse-by-verse comments and explanations

            Comparisons with other NT texts and OT passages

            Citations from multiple scholars who offer diverse perspectives

A non-literal, metaphorical methodology is followed in accordance with first century writers who would have drawn upon the Hebrew Bible (OT) to supply the keys to unlock the meanings of the apocalyptic symbolism.  Thus, it is important to note that about a third of the verses in Revelation reflect passages from the Hebrew Bible. 

This work presents an interpretation of the text that challenges pre-conceived notions of there being a “final” judgment in Revelation.  Christ is making all things new.  This is a critical point in rightly comprehending the beginning of the New Humanity (cf 1 Cor. 15:45-49; Eph. 2:15), which Paul apocalyptically understood to be a present reality (2 Cor. 5:17).  The writings of other 1st century authors inform our understanding of the text. Interpretation of the visions are presented primarily as “already fulfilled,” and as speaking of events that were fulfilled, or inaugurated, in the generation in which John lived.  Included are reflections on what this means to us in our current day and age.

Comments are based upon THE NEW TESTAMENT, God’s Message of Goodness, Ease and Well-being -- an original, expanded and amplified translation of the New Testament by the author.  It is for students of Scripture, study groups, leaders, pastors, pioneers, visionaries, searchers and pathfinders everywhere.
