The book of Revelation is one of the most fascinating book ever written. It claims to be a vision of the end of the world. The reader is swept up into another time and another place as the panorama of the future unfolds before us. This final book of the biblical record is the capstone of divine revelation. In it, God reveals the great end-times drama that leads to Armageddon and beyond.Everyone is curious about the future. There is something in human nature that wants to know what is going to happen next. God speaks to that need in our lives by revealing the future before it happens. That process is called a prophecyof future events. In this commentary, the goal is to help simplify the message of the Revelation so the reader can easily understand it. Edward Hinsonsurveys the general content of this great book of prophecy with a view to keeping the big picture in mind, rather than being lost in all the details. This coupled with a series of study questions at the end of each chapter is designed to enable the reader to study the details of the Revelation on their own or in a group setting.

Consist and good basic commentary on Revelation. Good for laymen and untrained preachers to give basic dispensational, pre-mill view. Useful as a basic textbook, but not detailed enough to do much of a deep study of this capstone of prophecy.

I bought this book while on vacation and found it to be a great resource for the study of Revelation. It's concise, easy reading and non-sensational from a premill-dispensational perspective.I consider this a handbook for the last difficult book of the N.T. well worth investing in.
