Message from Patmos

 

Subtitle: A Postmillennial Commentary on the Book of Revelation

About the Title: To the ordinary reader, Revelation is a very difficult book; it belongs to an apocalyptical literature to which the occidental mind is unaccustomed. It is far removed from our tastes and styles. The complexity of the visions becomes confusing and the meaning of its symbolism is not readily apprehendible by those who have not gone deeply into the subject.

 

We hope to make it both clear and interesting, and practical as well; for there is no book of the Holy Scriptures however abstruse in thought, or mystical in meaning, or symbolic in presentation that has not its practical and spiritual values for the present day Christian.

 

What does Revelation mean? Is it historical, prophetical or both? Is it past or future? Has it been fulfilled, does it deal with present day events or with things yet to come?
