About the Book
Revelation is the book most believers skip. This study opens it back up.
Too many beasts, too many bowls, too many numbers that never seem to add up. This study pushes back on that from the very first page, because Revelation itself makes an extraordinary promise: it is the only book in the Bible that opens with a blessing pronounced simply on the one who reads and hears it.
Navigating the Apocalypse walks through Revelation a phrase at a time, explaining what the words meant to their first readers, showing how the Old Testament stands behind almost every image, and drawing out what the text asks of us today. It follows the futurist approach, taking Revelation as genuine prophecy of what is still ahead, and grounds that approach in Daniel's visions, the Olivet Discourse, and the rapture before the Revelation walkthrough even begins.
