Synopsis

Mystery Explained - A Simple Guide to Revelation is designed to introduce the Book of Revelation to readers without theological training, but in a way that provides a full and satisfying understanding of its content. It provides an overview of the book and of the major issues surrounding its interpretation, then covers the text in a systematic expository manner. It addresses all the common misunderstandings of the book which have often left Christians confused and non-Christians mocking. Revelation is a pastoral letter designed to help believers of every generation follow Jesus in the way of the cross. It can be understood clearly in the light of the multitude of Old Testament references as a picture of the second great Exodus: Christians leaving spiritual Egypt, being protected in the wilderness of this present life, and awaiting entrance into the Promised Land, the new Jerusalem. Revelation provides the end to the story that Genesis began, culminating in the restoration of the presence of God to his garden-temple. Revelation urges Christians to remain faithful in the face of temptation to compromise. In spite of any adversity and suffering believers may encounter in this life, if they remain true to the faith, they will receive a reward far more real and lasting than any temporary cost they may have paid. This book explains clearly but succinctly how all these themes are worked out, with the goal of answering every substantial question readers may have had concerning the last book of the Bible.
