Understanding the Book of Revelation

The Book of Revelation has long been thought of as a formidable and confusing work, understandable to

only elite bible scholars. But, like its very name—Revelation—understanding of this seemingly complex

book is available to all! God has even promised a special blessing to those who read it!

David Baxley, D.Min., has broken down the perceived barriers and written a simple, verse-by- verse

commentary that is understandable to even beginning bible students. It includes maps, a chronology of

end time events and wars, definitions, and cross references to Old Testament scriptures that point to

the time of the end. He also includes discussion of sections that are still not fully understood or defined,

with possible varying interpretations.

Revelation readers can get bogged down in the symbolism and sensationalism of the judgment and miss

the main message of the book. It’s a book of hope in the return of Jesus Christ and His perfect rule that

will bring an end to evil and injustice and believers will live with God forevermore!

A bible student for over 50 years, and pastor for over 40, Dr. David Baxley has studied and taught the

Book of Revelation extensively. While in the hospital recovering from a heart transplant, he realized that

the sequence of end time events was still not clear in his mind, so he spent the next two years in intense

study. This book is the result of that study.
