Revelation (The John Walvoord Prophecy Commentaries)

I highly recommend this commentary on the book of Revelation. It takes a pretribulational premillennial perspective. The comments are brief and easy to understand (i.e. clear). Also they are often very insightful. For example, the comments on Rev. 6:7-8 contain the following paragraph… “By any standard of comparison this is an awesome judgment. If one-fourth of the world’s population is destroyed in the fourth seal, it would be the greatest destruction of human life ever recorded. The population of the human race in Noah’s day undoubtedly was far less than the figure here cited as dying. If such a judgment would fall upon a world population of approximately six billion people, it would mean the deaths of 1,500,000,000 people. It should be clear from this description that the divine judgments being meted out to the earth are not trivial in character but describe a period of world history awful beyond any words, a period without precedent in its character and extent. “This insightful comment makes it very clear there is no positive future for the earth as we know it today. The comment above is just one leading to the following insightful conclusion…“From this introduction to the judgments portrayed in Revelation, it should be evident that the world is facing a time of trouble never known before. The dream of the optimist for a world becoming increasingly better scientifically, intellectually, morally, and religiously does not fit the pattern of God’s prophetic Word. The ultimate triumph of God is assured, and as Revelation makes plain, Christ will reign over the earth and bring in a kingdom of peace and righteousness after the time of trouble has run its course. First, however, there must be the awful time of the great tribulation.”This insight, if taken seriously, should help one prioritize the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ over any other pursuits as those pursuits are destined to ultimately go nowhere whereas the gospel is used to prepare a people for a future that will last forever.

Thought i would use it as a reference.It's too good so read it cover to cover

Dr. Walvoord has prepared another great reference book that is so knowlegible and informative. He is one of the GREATS!

Great study book

In all my years of studying prophetic literature, and all the study Bible's that I have at my fingertips, this commentary on the book of Revelation is probably the BEST work biblically, prophetically and literally! John Walvoord works on the Revelation of Jesus Christ is as accurate as it gets. This commentary is a page turner and it is one to read over and over! And what's even good about is it's an updated version written along side the ESV translation. It doesn't get any better than this. I LOVE this commentary...a read have for those who are not only serious about Bible study but serious about studying prophetic literature.

The book is a good verse by verse explanation of the book of Revelation. I would have given it five stars if it had followed the Hebrew manuscript instead of the Greek manuscript as a source of its translation. The Greek version runs into problems such as the tree of Life having a split trunk through which the river of life flows. The Hebrew manuscript avoids this problem. Likewise, identifying Yeshua as the morning star runs into the problem that Lucifer also appears in the Bible to be identified as the morning star. There are videos on the internet that explain these problems and that the author could easily access. Those problems, caused by use of the Greek manuscript, take away from the excellent scholarship that the author brings to bear on this wonderful topic.

Awesome

A good commentary explaining, with Scripture, the pre-tribulation, premillenialist view of the end times while explaining some of the different interpretations and viewpoints that many Bible-believing Christians hold."God blesses the one who reads the words of this prophecy to the church, and he blesses all who listen to its message and obey what it says, for the time is near." ~ Revelation 1:3 (NLT)"The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' Let anyone who hears this say, 'Come.' Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life." ~ Revelation 22:17 (NLT)

Produto de capa dura, chegou com avaria justamente na parte mais visível. Muita falta de cuidado.

Easy to read, informative, literal interpretation, love it very much. A+.

Excellent book in beautiful hard binding that does justice to the contents. Bought through Wordery and the service was excellent with very fast delivery.

A companion to Daniel ... though certain topics are too orthodoxy like chapter 11 on the two witnrssrs, but still an excellent presentation on Revelation

Anyone interested in the literal truth regarding the last days - this is the book for you! Thanks - Bob Jones
