What if the Book of Revelation becomes clearer when viewed through the biblical and Jewish context in which it was written?
In Revelation Revealed: Understanding the Book of Revelation, Including the Messianic Jewish Perspective, Volume I, Susan Sperling Brock invites readers into a detailed, verse-by-verse study of one of the Bible's most discussed and often misunderstood books.
Drawing from Scripture, early church writings, historic Christian commentators, and Messianic Jewish perspectives, this study explores Revelation through its deep connections to the Old Testament, Israel, the Temple, the feasts of the Lord, prophecy, and the Jewish world of the Apostle John.
Volume I covers Revelation Chapters 1 through 11, examining subjects such as:
- The person, power, and purpose of Jesus Christ
- The seven churches of Revelation
- Premillennial, Amillennial, and Postmillennial interpretations
- The Rapture and the question of its timing
- The Great Tribulation
- The literal Millennial Kingdom
- Israel's prophetic future
- The throne room of Heaven
- The seven-sealed scroll
- The Four Horsemen
- The 144,000
- The seal and trumpet judgments
- The Temple, menorah, priesthood, and Jewish symbolism
- The Day of the Lord
- The two witnesses
- The relationship between Revelation, Daniel, Exodus, the Prophets, and the Jewish feasts
Rather than treating Revelation as an isolated book filled only with difficult symbols, Revelation Revealed connects John's visions to the Hebrew Scriptures and the Jewish concepts that shaped the world of the first believers.
The result is a study designed to help everyday readers examine the text carefully, compare major theological viewpoints, and better understand the prophetic themes running from Genesis through Revelation.
For Christians, Bible study groups, teachers, students of prophecy, and readers interested in the Messianic Jewish perspective, this volume offers a detailed guide to the first half of Revelation and its place within the larger biblical story.
