Excerpt from An Exposition of the Revelation of John, From the Fourth Chapter
This book was doubtless written to be understood, for John was commanded not to seal up the sayings it contains, but to leave them open for the instruction and consolation of believers in every age. It is no presumption therefore, to assert that it can be under stood, and he is pronounced blessed or happy who keepeth the sayings of this prophecy. To keep them implies an understand ing of them, and a belief of them. Indeed, a revelation which cannot be understood is no revelation at all.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the book of Revelation from a critical perspective, examining its many symbols with thorough analysis and interpretation. The author places the text within the context of the larger biblical narrative, and draws upon other books of the Bible, particularly the Old Testament prophets, to shed light on the possible meanings and fulfillment of Revelation. The book carefully discusses the various ways in which the symbols within Revelation have been interpreted, and considers principles for interpreting these symbols in light of the book's genre as an apocalypse. This thorough analysis yields a reading of Revelation that emphasizes its relevance to the Christian church throughout history and interprets the future events it describes as reflective of the earthly experiences of the church, rather than as describing an end-of-the-world scenario. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
