Reese N.T. Prophecy - Revelation

This is a phrase-by-phrase commentary of Revelation.  The only book of prophecy in the New Testament, Revelation uniquely challenges both readers and commentators.

This commentary uses the Progressive Parallel, or Historical Cycle, method of interpretation.  That is, John sees the course of history revealed in six sets, or cycles, of overlapping, complementary visions.  Parallel means various symbols are often the subject of two or more visions, and different visions cover similar time periods.  Progressive means later visions often reference earlier visions, and the spiritual conflict John witnesses intensifies as Revelation advances.

Eschatology, the study of the end time, is central to Revelation.  While Revelation is the only book of prophecy in the New Testament, the NT contains other prophetic passages and the Bible itself contains other prophetic books.  In both the Introductory Studies and within the commentary itself, Dr. Reese harmonizes his interpretation of Revelation with other, less symbolic, passages.  A Glossary of Key Symbols connects Revelation’s symbols to other Scriptures.  And the Language of Prophecy appendix identifies the key Biblical passages anyone must wrestle with while studying Revelation.
