The Book of Revelations Things Which Must Shortly Come to Pass

The Lord expects us to seek wisdom, to ponder his revealed truths, and to gain knowledge of them by the power of his Spirit. Otherwise he would not have revealed them to us. This book is the most ambitious comprehensive study of the book of Revelation. The background and context becomes invaluable in helping to explain the imagery and metaphors that otherwise make the scriptural text hard to understand. The author has drawn from the scriptures and the words of the prophets, both ancient and modern, to synchronize John's vision with the doctrines of the restored Church. This approach opens a new and larger understanding of Revelation for the reader.

Elder Bruce R. McConkie answered the important question about our ability and obligation to study and understand the Revelation of John in preparation for the Second Coming of the Lord: "Certainly why else did the Lord reveal it? The common notion that it deals with beasts and plagues and mysterious symbolisms that cannot be understood is just not true. Most of the book is clear and plain and should be understood by the Lord's people. Condition: Brand new hardcover book!. Book: New, dust jacket: New.
