Understanding The Book of Revelation: Layman's Words


Book Description

To whomever may read this book: I started a study of Revelation several years ago. The reason for starting this study was to try and understand the last book of the Bible. So many had told me that Revelation was full of mysteries and difficult to understand. I searched for something that would guide me, make me think about each verse and how each passage applies to my life now and how it could in the future. My great uncle had written a book many years ago that had been passed down through my family to me. I used his book as my guide for my quest. But, as I got into the study I began writing down additional verses, thoughts and life applications. Also, trying to relate to what we know as everyday life today to what must of seemed so foreign to John. All that said this book was put together with much prayer and godly guidance to provide assistance in studying Revelation. I hope it will help someone not only understand Revelation, but prompt thoughts and discussions. Most of all I hope this book might inspire to spread the gospel before it is too late and possibly help someone find their way to Christ.

A Layman's Understanding Of The Book Of Revelation!


Book Description

"The BOOK" Even since the beginning of my Christian life, I have been drawn to the Book Of Revelation. It may be scary and shows God as a vengeful God, but surely He proved that in the old Testament. The problem exists the future is to be perused, believed, and acted upon by all who acknowledge a creation God and His Sacrificial Son Jesus Christ. I found that the plagues to gain God's will, will be used in the Tribulation and have been used before, in Egypt and to bring the wayward Israelites back to the fold. Please accept that you belong in a world where nothing is certain, life or death, so it is your choice to read and believe or suffer the plagues that have been PROMISED in REVELATION. And May God guides your decision. AMEN Many say I found Christ, but sometimes Christ Finds You! He found me sitting in the gutter bemoaning a flat tire on the car. He sent a servant that I knew but was unaware he was a Christian. He invited me to go home shower, dress, and meet him for Church that evening. That was the start of my seventy, odd years in Christian Service. A word or two at the right time and in the right place can add years of service to the Lord Jesus Christ. What have those years enjoyed, preaching- three states, volunteer with faith organizations, founding health and pain organizations advisory to sporting and community groups, all stemming from one person's invitation. GO AND DO LIKEWISE!

Understanding the Book of Revelation


Book Description

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.




Understanding End Times Prophecy


Book Description

Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.

A Layman’s Guide to the Book of Revelation


Book Description

Many mistakenly believe that Revelation is the most mysterious and hard to understand book of the Bible. On the contrary, a special blessing is promised to anyone who reads or anyone who hears the words of this prophecy.

In A Layman’s Guide to the Book of Revelation, author Reverend Fredrick A. Wierschke offers an easy-to-understand interpretation of this book in the Bible. Following the lead of the Holy Spirit, Wierschke analyzes the scriptures verse by verse, presenting in-depth and thorough insight into this often-misunderstood book. Charts and note-taking space are included.
