Making Sense of the Revelation

Armageddon. The Rapture. The Great Tribulation. The Millennium. A dragon. Beasts. Four Horses. The Anti-Christ. Famine. Plagues. Bowls of Wrath. Seals. Trumpets. These and other words and descriptions create confusion for many people trying to read The Revelation.

Making Sense of The Revelation teaches a method of understanding this last book of the Bible beginning with the purpose, context, and techniques used by the Apostle John. Dr. Nielsen approaches The Revelation not as a prediction of events preceding the Second Coming of Jesus. Rather, he looks at Jesus' intent to encourage His followers to remain faithful in the face of persecution, cultural seduction, and false teaching in the church.
