This narrative commentary systematically examines John's Apocalypse from a narrative critical perspective. After an introduction to narrative criticism, the volume focuses on point of view, setting, rhetoric, character, and plot in the Book of Revelation. The rhetorical and symbolic significance of numerals are discussed at length as are the multifaceted characters in the book such as demonic animals (locust, beasts, dragon, birds) and apocalyptic animals (lamb, four living creatures). The symbolic significance of topographical, architectural, agricultural, and other settings is emphasized. The final chapter of the book is a summary of some of the major theological themes of Revelation. The volume provides a useful methodology for the study of a much disputed book of the Bible.

Finally, a book which simplistically, insightfully and systematically presents an integrated, concrete overview of the 22 chapters, or 404 verses, of the book of Revelation. "Revelation Unsealed" is unique in a number of major areas. It is the first book to approach the text of Revelation from what is termed the Pre-Wrath Rapture perspective. This is the hotly debated view that the church will enter the Seventieth Week, undergo the great tribulation of the Antichrist, and be gathered off the earth before the wrath of God unfolds. This view is presented in a logical scenario, which is then placed within the overall context of the Apocalypse. Also contained is an entirely fresh biblical perspective of the emergence of the Antichrist. Additionally, this book also fully covers the relevance of world events, the amazing track record of biblical prophecy, the fulfillment of the seven religious feast of Israel, the battle of Armageddon, and the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ. All of these issues are addressed in a concise and simple manner with numerous charts and illustrations to aid the reader in easily conceptualizing and visualizing what is outlined. Its contents will challenge both the newest Christian and the seasoned biblical scholar.

James M. Pryse investigates early Christianity, explaining and demystifying the Apocalypse - also called the Book of Revelation. His examination reveals what is foreseen in the ancient Biblical text. The events of the Book of Revelation are considered by Biblical scholars and believers to hold great significance, both in the historic sense and as prophecy of the church and its future. In Pryse's interpretation, the Revelation is not an unsolvable enigma, or a mystery shrouded in secrets, but a living and cogent set of predictions. The original Greek of the book, which Pryse translated to aid his investigation, is proposed to be the key to understanding its meanings. In making his case for the Apocalypse being a reflection of Greek wisdom, Pryse draws upon the philosophy of Plato and the terms of ancient Greek that describe parts of the body. Though learning these principles, an understanding of what the Apocalypse means is possible. In addition we receive instruction on Greek number theory, which Pryse uses to further unravel the New Testament text. Several charts and illustrations accompany his explanations, that the reader may arrive at the fullest understanding. A novel and original approach to one of the Bible's most famous texts, The Apocalypse Unsealed is a valuable piece of occult lore.

One of the Great Reset’s goals is to destroy foundational beliefs and make us fearful, so we depend more on government, and in the process, we are losing more personal freedom because of their increased regulations. The News seems to convey everything as a crisis, but what is important to us doesn’t seem to be a crisis to news reporters or the government. Rioting has caused much damage in some cities. Some district attorneys verbally attack the police methods, and they want to prosecute them for doing their job to protect citizens. Global warming is presented as a crisis, but the Bible says summer and winter will continue as long as the earth remains. Because many people believe in evolution and others feel God, if He exists, has deserted this world, nothing seems definite that we can count on. We feel isolated and unsafe; crime has increased. People are looking for a leader who will bring peace and safety. Many different things have been said about what will happen at the end of this world and Armageddon, and in this book, you will learn what the Bible actually says about it. The Lord sent His words through the prophets to be recorded for us, and the books of Daniel and Revelation have some future events told to us in symbols. If you were ever curious and wanted a comprehensive understanding of the meaning of what will happen, the symbols and the timeline are explained in detail with the Bible verses to confirm what is written. These questions are answered by the Bible: • What is the tribulation and how long does it last? Did the Bible give us exact days? What event will start the tribulation period? What happens during it? • Did God provide an escape? What is the Rapture? • What happens after Armageddon? Because the meaning of the two books have been sealed and kept secret, important Bible verses have been overlooked, and personal beliefs caused more than one misinterpretation. Now they are unsealed and revealed because we are in the time period which will bring the return of Jesus Christ our Savior!
