Studies in Revelation

I always appreciate good study material on Revelation. There are some interesting teachings in this book. This is a very readable book with an emphasis on how to read Revelation. This helps reduce the fear factor most people face. However, M. R. De Haan stands firm in his the Pre-trib rapture view. I wish he would have offered some insight to the Pre-Wrath viewpoint.

Did you know that Revelations is the only book in the Bible where God has promised the one who studies it a special blessing? Revelations is filled with promises for the redeemed in Christ, and it is the Revelation of the Resurrected Christ in all His Glory. It also gives you the best description of Christ as He appears today, as well as details of the New Jerusalem. Dr. DeHaan's commentary on Revelations has made the study of Revelations understandable, optimistic, and urgent. Each chapter covers a topic in the order given starting with the Introduction and History of the Churches to the Final Judgment and Eternity. Dr. DeHaan explains several important concepts such as the Judgment Seat of Christ, the Two Resurrections, The Wedding of the Lamb, the Rapture of the Church and the Great White Throne Judgment. At the end of every chapter he makes a plea to the unbeliever to receive Christ and the believer to get the Gospel out due to the urgency to reach the lost. Warning: if you read this book and study Revelations and you are still lost, you will have no excuse. However if you study it and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you will get a special blessing. There is no reason to be fearful of this book and Dr. DeHaan says the best policy is to interpret it literally. If you do, it is a book of great joy and wonderful promises, concluding with a gracious invitation to "Come! Come! Come!" to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation before it is too late and the day of mercy ends forever.

Martin R. Dehaan, a man who knew God well and had a superior understanding of his written word. This book has been such a blessing! It took the fear out of reading revelation and put a rich understanding in it's place. It has revealed God and his purpose to me clearer than I can articulate. I recommend this reading and all other reading material written by this author. He spells out God's word in manner that all can understand!
