Summary

The Book of Revelation is the only book of the Bible with a Promise to the reader! Why? What makes this book so special? Revelation is a "lens" that puts the entire Bible into focus. The lens is focused on the person of Jesus Christ, and his destiny is imminent. This is a book of victory: We are overcomers! We are the ultimate winners in the game of life! (I read the ending: we win!) One of the reasons this book strikes us as strange is because of our lack of understanding concerning the Old Testament. The Book of Revelation consists of 404 verses that contain over 800 allusions to the Old Testament. These are detailed, along with Chuck's analysis of the design and structure of this fascinating book. Learn about the past, present and future of the Church and our ultimate destiny. This is an ideal "first study" and foundational for every Christian.

0:55.3	Each year, a Roman citizen had to burn a pinch of incense on the altar and acknowledge publicly that Caesar was supreme Lord. Now, this was simply an action they took to be primarily,
1:02.3	it's primarily a political one, because every individual in the empire could worship whatever
1:07.7	gods they wanted to, because they had all kinds of tribes and cultures that
1:11.6	they had conquered. But what they wanted to do is get everyone to acknowledge that Caesar's number
1:16.3	one. That was their way of, but they're really, that was their way of having them express a commitment
1:22.2	to Caesar, above all others. And so it was just a way of unifying and integrating the many elements of the empire.
