Produktbeschreibung
Revelation, the last chapter of the Bible, can appear like a house of horrors with unimaginable creatures within it. Who dares to enter? The author finally has, and in a sense has cast out some of those demons. God's Cry to the Church is an insightful commentary on the book of Revelation, chapters 1-8. Within it, the author has given a unique and reasoned perspective that welcomes others to enter. The author's perspective draws upon the structure of a Roman Triumph, an emperor's victory parade in Rome. This perspective reveals God's own victory parade as a conclusion to the Bible. In the format of a parade, the vivid images presented in Revelation are dealt with in a way that is helpful and reveals God's grace. Revelation is an urgent message to the church, one that needs to be heard anew. There are words of warning but there is encouragement and good news too. The last chapter of the Bible concludes the word of God with an ending of hope and promise. The insights from this book make it a valuable resource for preaching, teaching and for meditation on the word of God for personal growth and faith.
