The book of Revelation is the scariest book in the Bible, says Ray Stedman as he begins this commentary on the final book in the New Testament. Yet it is also one of the most comforting, reassuring, and exhilarating books in the Bible. And then, with his characteristic clarity and care, Dr. Stedman leads you through the remarkable book of Revelation. As he says, It is no accident that the book of Revelation appears as the last book of the Bible. Revelation gathers all the threads of theme and historic events contained in the rest of the Bible, weaving them into a seamless whole. The entire scope of human history--and of eternity itself--comes into brilliant focus in the book of Revelation. Like a well-written detective story, God's Final Word explores the depths of John's Revelation verse-by-verse and brings to life the mysteries of this highly symbolic book. And when he is through, Dr. Stedman concludes: Perhaps the most striking and profound aspect of this book is its relevance and importance to our lives today. The book of Revelation is not just a musty piece of parchment from a bygone age . . . The book of Revelation is vibrant, alive, and profoundly applicable to the times in which you and I live.
