About the Book
Here’s what I hope to engender: I want you to feel as though Revelation is for you, something you can and should understand, something clear and hope-filled, something meant to be pondered and eventually grasped. I have a few qualms with many Revelation teachers (and even Study Bibles, if I’m honest) because they often teach Revelation as they believe it. While there are some parts of the book that leave little to interpretation, there is much that isn’t so clear. To teach only the theory of the interpretation that I adhere to seems a bit pompous to me, and I hope sincerely to refrain from such grandiosity.
What might you expect here? My goal is to present the Scripture to you in such a way as to lead you into the Presence of the Lord with such clarity, confidence, and knowledge that you are free to listen to Him tell you what YOU need to know in its pages. When we come to the Lord expecting to be overwhelmed and overexposed, we often end up empty—our hands aren’t open, so we take nothing away. The goal isn’t necessarily answers (I really don’t claim to have many). The goal is openness, calm understanding, teachability.
