REVELATION 1 CHAPTER HIGHLIGHTS Read, Hear, and Keep Ruler of All Rulers Alpha and Omega Seven Lampstands Our High Priest He Holds the Keys Let's Get Started Since we will be studying Revelation, it is important to understand what a revelation is. The wordrevelation comes from the Greek word apokalupsis. It means the uncovering, the unveiling, or the disclosing. Revelation is the disclosing of Jesus Christ. It can be taken two ways: as the revealing of the person of Jesus Christ, or as the revealing of what he intends to do starting with the Church Age and running through to the end of time. The Church Age is that period of time that the Church is on earth. The Church consists of the followers of Jesus Christ, as opposed to a church which is a building where people meet to worship. The Church Age started fifty days after Jesus was raised from the dead on the Jewish holy day called Pentecost (The Feast of Weeks). It will end when the Church is raptured. Just as one week is divided into seven days, the Church Age is divided into seven periods (more on this later in Chapter 1). John, one of Christ's original twelve disciples, was selected by Jesus to record Revelation. Since he knew Jesus personally, John is often called the Apostle John. He never boasted of that, but simply called himself a servant of Jesus (one who is in the service of God). GO TO: Exodus 34:22, 23 (Pentecost) Acts 2: 1-47 (Pentecost) I Corinthians 15:52 (rapture) Acts 1:21-26 (Apostle John) What? revelation - an uncovering of something hidden Rapture - the Church is taken to heaven at Christ's return apostle - someone commissioned by God to represent Christ Revelation 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, Don't Jump Ahead!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Extremely Clear & Thorough Study of a Crucial Book, January 18, 2000

This review is from: REVELATION: God's Word for the Biblically Inept (Paperback)

I've been through other Bible studies on the book of Revelation before and was able to develop a deeper understanding of the book. However upon reading REVELATION: GOD'S WORD..., I must say that it is the most thorough explanation of the book of Revelation that I have ever had. I like the way it takes you through the book verse by verse, explaining what they mean IN RELATION TO OTHER SCRIPTURES in the Bible; I like the way it relates to current event, so that we could be made aware of the signs of the time; and most of all I really appreciate the way that everything is explained so clearly and so simply for anybody to understand (with icons and timelines, etc). Daymond Duck makes it a fun read, so that those who usually shy away from Bible study can benefit from his approach -while learning the details about a very IMPORTANT book of the Bible.

I've recommended it to everybody I know who were seeking to get and in-depth understanding of Revelation, and have gone on to order THE BIBLE: GOD'S WORD FOR THE BIBLICALLY-INEPT.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Bible Study Tool, December 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: REVELATION: God's Word for the Biblically Inept (Paperback)

This book is more than what it claims to be - for the biblically inept; it is suitable for anyone at any place in their spiritual walk.

If you are interested in coming away from a study of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ with some God/Bible inspired convictions of your own, this book will help you. It does not hail any one denominational or interpretational view over another even though Mr. Duck's and his commentators' views are obvious. Mr. Duck is fairly unbias and presents views other than his own. He does not tout his own as the "only and right"or spend time persuading the reader to think as he does. Rather he presents enough supporting material (historical and current) that will help any serious student of the Word grasp a clearer understanding of this prophetic book. He also does a good job of relieving the fear that is usually associated with attempting to study this book with his very down to earth, yet reverent approach.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is seriously interested in studying the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ and feels inadequate, intimidated or overwhelmed at the thought of doing so.

This review is from: REVELATION: God's Word for the Biblically Inept (Paperback)

The Biblically Inept books are a fine complement to your bible. I am so impressed with the Revelation and Life of Christ Biblically-Inept books that I intend to collect all of the Biblically-Inept books. I was so shaken about the Revelation book in the past it was one of my most hated books in the bible. When I got the Revelation Biblically-Inept book it had really open my eyes to things and that there was nothing scary or mind boggling about Revelation. After I got through reading the Revelation Biblically Inept book. I feel even more content, joyful about gods plan, and completely understand the book of revelation where it doesn't scare the day lights out of me, instead I rejoice in gods plans. Biblically-Inept are wonderful complementary study guides to your bible.
