[This book is] for pastors and serious lay people who want a good overall grasp of the book [of Revelation].
— Eugene Merrill, Ph.D., Dallas Theological Seminary
Bradley, pastor of First Baptist Church of Grapeland, Texas, contends that what is said in the book of Revelation is 100% accurate and reliable and will take place, just as Jesus revealed it to John on Patmos, whether or not we completely understand it beforehand. He describes his task as an expositor of Revelation as showing how the visions given to John fit together. He emphasizes the function of prophecy as glorifying God and giving people hope, and the necessity of letting Scripture interpret Scripture. After a twelve-page introduction, he considers why God revealed his roadmap (Rev 1:1-8); the Son with his stars and lampstands (1:9-20); his letters to his lamp- stands (2:1–3:22); God’s magnificent throne room (4:1-11); God’s scroll and the only one who can open it (5:1-14); and so forth.
