Onward to Victory

Book excerpt: Apart from a few well-known passages, the book of Revelation is a mystery to most Christians. The terrible images that are used are difficult to understand, and the little we do understand seems to present a picture of doom and gloom. However, the book of Revelation was written to comfort the persecuted believers who were facing daily onslaughts by the forces of evil. It has a powerful message for the believers of all ages, including todays believers. If you can get past all the seemingly incomprehensible imagery and unlock the code, you will find that its message is an integral part of the message that we find in the rest of the Bible. In fact, it is like the tip of the spear. Most of the important themes in the Bible as a whole find their fulfillment in the book of Revelation. The purpose of this book is not to give some radical new interpretation of the book of Revelation. It is to remain faithful to the message of the Bible as a whole while opening this wonderful but often misunderstood part of Gods Word for todays believers. This book will help you not only to understand the message of Revelation but also to apply it to your own life. This will help you to persevere through difficulties and persecution until the victory of Christ is fully enforced in all of creation. A study guide is included so that you can also use the book for group Bible study.
